Nutritional Benefits of Chickpea and Potato Soup
- Cooked chickpeas, surely you have some tins stored right?
- Potatoes, a staple in any kitchen, grab a couple of those!
- Veg stock cubes, I like using low sodium, add two of those to freshly boiled water.
- Rosemary and sage, bonus point if fresh and you have them growing in your garden!
- Onion and garlic, I often use powdered in this recipe to keep it oil-free, but you can use fresh and prepare as you usually would, if you prefer.
