Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Prep: 20 minutes

Chickpea soup seem to call out for herbs & spices in the winter, so that's what they get here baby! I make this soup really chunky, hearty and totally packed with love & flavor that help me get in-tune with my ancient-ancestral side!!

I've been busting my tail working overtime throughout the holiday season so I've had only time for quick, nutritional meals and little sleep!


This is a FAST and healthy favorite [even on a low budget], that's fully-loaded with nutrients that the body can use!

Herbs that I use to season my mushrooms/onions dish include: basil, bay leaves, ceyanne pepper, thyme, and marjoram.
