Chickpea soup is a hearty and nutrient-rich dish, popular in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. This comforting soup typically features chickpeas as its star ingredient, complemented by vegetables like onion, celery, carrots, and garlic, and simmered in a savory broth seasoned with herbs and spices such as cumin or paprika. Variations may include tomatoes, spinach, or fresh parsley for added flavor and nutrition. Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, making this soup a wholesome choice for a balanced diet. The soup is low in fat and can be made vegan or vegetarian, depending on the choice of broth. While generally healthy, its sodium content could increase with store-bought broths or added salt, so opt for low-sodium alternatives if needed. Perfect for a warming meal, chickpea soup combines flavor with health in every spoonful.
