Greek Chickpea Soup
This Greek chickpea soup has nutty, lemony flavor and buttery almost creamy texture. It is so comforting that it will warm your soul from the inside out.
Ingredients
Instructions
Sort and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Leave them overnight in a bowl with plenty of tap water, ideally 12-14 hours. Strain the chickpeas and rinse well using your hand to remove the skins (if any).
Place them in a pot and bring to boil for 2-3 minutes. Strain and rinse well under tap water. Remove the last remaining skins and clean the pot.

*If lemony taste isn't your favorite flavor, you may use only the juice from 1 lemon and then add some more in your plate. This is a safer way to test this chickpea soup the first time you cook it.

So delicious!! I used chicken broth and added diced carrots, celery and dill.
I could eat this soup everyday!
Thank you for sharing.
This was yum! Cooked it a second time an added some leek and a white fish fillet to complement the lemon component. Super and thank you.
This was absolutely delicious. I followed the directions exactly. I used the flour method to thicken the broth. Thank you for a satisfying, tasty soup.
Better make it with canned chickpeas, will take less time, same result. Also, fresh oregano is better than dry oregano. Overall, simple, but very hearty!
Today is my birthday and I am making this for hubby and I for dinner. I am cooking dry chickpeas that I soaked overnight. Aug. 20, 2024
Very fresh tasting!
However, I was short on time so I cooked the dry (not soaked) beans in the instant pot for 55 minutes along with an onion and bay leaves… I’m wondering how different the taste is from that of the original recipe.
Thanks again for sharing!
