This recipe came to The Times in 2013, when the food writers Michael Pollan and Michael Moss were prompted to make "a tasty, reasonably healthy lunch" using ingredients available at most grocery stores. "No farmers' market produce, no grass-fed beef or artisanal anything," the prompt stated.a They came up with a few simple dishes: pizza, a salad of sliced avocados and oranges, and this simple but flavorful soup, which Mr. Pollan regularly made for his family and relies on canned garbanzos.

CHICKEN AND CHICKPEA SOUP



Chicken and Chickpea Soup image

Cumin, coriander, and cinnamon give this easy soup an exotic Moroccan flavor. With bits of tender chicken and carrots, it makes a satisfying lunch.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 teaspoons minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook, skin side down, until skin is browned and crisp, about 6 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until browned, 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons garlic and spices; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in carrots and return chicken to pot. Stir in broth.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce to a medium simmer, partially cover, and cook until chicken is falling off the bone, 50 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from soup. When cool enough to handle, tear chicken into large pieces, discarding skin and bones. Return meat to pot. Add chickpeas and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. In a small bowl, stir together 1 teaspoon garlic, lemon zest, and cilantro; sprinkle over soup before serving.

Tips:

  • Use vegetable broth or water as the base: This soup is naturally vegan and gluten-free, but you can use chicken broth if you prefer.
  • Don't overcook the chickpeas: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: You can add any vegetables you like to this soup, but carrots, celery, and onion are classic choices.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. A bay leaf or two can also add a nice flavor.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: This soup is perfect for a cold day, and it's even better with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Chickpea soup is a delicious, healthy, and affordable meal that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chickpea soup recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
