This is adapted from a recipe in Conveniently Vegan by Debra Wasserman. I added celery in place of two of the carrots, removed oil, and substituted vegetable broth for half of the water to improve the flavor.
Chickpea soup
Two 19-oz cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained [I used home-cooked]
4 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 large onions, finely chopped
5 + 1/4 cup vegetable broth
5 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste
Sauté chickpeas, carrots, celery, and onions in the 1/4 cup broth over medium heat in a large pot for 5 minutes. Add seasonings, remaining broth, and water. Simmer 30 minutes and serve warm.
I am fighting off a cold so I pressed several cloves of raw garlic over the finished soup. Good for what ails ya!
