This easy, one-pot Soothing Garlic Chickpea Soup recipe is beyond delicious. Picture melt in your mouth cooked chickpeas in a garlicky tomato broth and finished off with plenty of lime juice, fresh cilantro, and some chili peppers.
Cook the chickpeas with the water and the whole onion until the chickpeas are soft and melt in your mouth. You can cook the chickpeas in the stovetop, slow cooker, instant pot, pressure cooker or any way you prefer. Salt the chickpeas when it’s cooked.
Strain the cooked chickpea, saving the chickpea water and discard the onion.
In the same pot, over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the garlic for a few minutes until nearly golden and add the tomatoes.
Stir the tomatoes for a minute until it warms up and then add in the cooked chickpeas, some of the reserved water and allow that to simmer for at least 30 minutes. Feel free to add extra water if you need and adjust the salt to your taste.
Serve the chickpea soup in glass cups and top with your favorite toppings! Enjoy :)
