Chickpea Soup
Valarie Donnelly concocted this garbanzo soup primarily from pantry ingredients one night when she was short on time. She was so pleased with the result that she has made it many times since then.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Pour oil into a 3- to 4-quart pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add onion and garlic and stir often until onion is limp, about 6 minutes.

2
