Spicy Garbanzo Soup

Prep 15 min
Total 45 min
Ingredients 13
Servings 4

When preparing this garbanzo soup, I found a shortcut so I could serve it faster: I used canned garbanzos. I know, I’ve always said I prefer making things from scratch, but every once in a while, I use canned garbanzos because they’re really easy to use, and they’re delicious if rinsed well. When the soup is ready, I like to serve with tortilla chips. I also add avocado because I love avocado, and sometimes I use yogurt instead of cream. You can enjoy this soup on a cold night. I’m sure you’ll love it! MORE + LESS -

Expert Tips

If you don’t like spicy meals, skip the chipotle chili. You can also use any other type of chili you want.
Add one or two chopped tomatoes to the soup.
Instead of rosemary, use fresh oregano.
