Spanish Chickpea Soup image

This recipe was found in The Vegetarian Passport Cookbook. In Spain, this soup is only made when the chickpeas are in season and fresh. The rest of us, unless we know of a place to get fresh chickpeas, will have to use dried or canned.

Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding more broth or water.

This soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less paprika if you don't like spicy food.
