This simple recipe is a great way to enjoy chickpeas. Very popular in Greece, the ingredients and preparation are simple. The trick to flavor is the use of olive oil and slow cooking to produce a rich, and full flavored soup. This is what I like to call “refined peasant food” it’s cheap, accessible, healthy, and feeds a small army. Perfect with crusty bread, this dish can be served anytime of year, might I suggest you use Greek olive oil to get the full flavor. I used Organic canned chickpeas to cut down on cooking time and to make approachable for quick preparation on a weeknight after a long day at work. This is one of those things that is even tastier the next day and is great to make in large batches and freeze. Make it vegan friendly by using Veggie stock.
