I loved this soup too! I used Chicken Broth, as that is what I had on hand. I also roasted the onions as well as the carrots and added a sliced green pepper and red pepper that I needed to use up to the roasting pan. I also had to use 1 lb of regular carrots (left the skins on) and 1 lb of baby cut carrots (put them in a nest of foil). I used half tahini and half hummus for the 1/3 cup of tahini. All worked out well. Loved the roasted chickpeas! Great soup and very versatile! Will make again.

This caught my attention when looking for a recipe with chickpeas. It NOW is printed and will be repeated a gazillion times. SO YUM. So easy to make. The flavors exploded in my mouth. I didn’t use canned beans, but made them in my instant pot from dried. (Rinse 1 cup beans, put in instant pot, cover with one inch or so of water, pressure cook 45 minutes, quick release, drain, dry on towels.) Thank you a gazillion and then some.

I tweaked the recipe a bit (used homemade chicken stock (Ina Garten’s recipe)), and add some roasted fennel and roasted onions to the carrots. And I had some pancetta cubes from Trader Joe’s that I crisped up and added to the roasted chickpeas for garnish. But the flavors were great and I’m sure it would have been just as tasty if prepared 100% vegan.

In reply to Lisa Dulas. You can also make your own Za'atar.

This soup is divine! It’s comforting and flavorful and the silky texture rounds it out to be a perfect addition to my winter soup recipes. Great work, Ali!

I made this yesterday and I am so glad! Yum. I did add the lentils to it. I found za’tar on Amazon, and intend to roast chickpeas with it often! Thank you for a wonderful recipe.

In reply to Laura. Thanks Laura - I was going to ask if it can be made with chicken broth instead of vegetable broth The recipe sounds delicious (especially the zaatar chickpeas).
