So, the woman who taught me how to make this recipe was almost offended when I asked her if there was chicken stock in it, which I get why she was offended. A dried chickpea can really do a lot. But I had to ask because I am a very untrusting pescatarian. And whenever something is insanely delicious, I feel like there is some layer flavor that I’m missing. And the chickpeas that she served us, mind you, this is in Sicily after 5 days of eating nothing but pasta and seafood. But the chickpeas she served us were so soft and tender and flavorful that I thought there had to be something else. And she was like, “No, honestly, the only thing is the safo that you don’t even cook and a lot of time.” And sometimes I feel that like life is a pressure cooker of getting everything done quickly. And this is a nice reminder that if you just put in good stuff and wait a bit, sometimes what comes out is really great. Don’t you hate it when Sicilian grandmothers are ripe?

Your kitchen is so beautiful, the window, the view, the sunlight, the color scheme… 😍
I mean fair, but that parmesan rind imparts a deep umami flavor.
Hi, what is the diameter of the pan? Thank you ❤ love your content!!
Ohhhhh maybe I’m making that tomorrow
Maisie peters! ❤
Time is an ingredient. It’s the different between a soft, slow cooked brisket vs a hard lump of meat cooked to high and fast.
Sounds great! Did u share the recipe somewhere?
Recipe?
Does anyone know where I can find this recipe?
Simple and delicious
And the adapted recipe is here! https://justinesnacks.com/perfect-chickpea-soup/
We are doing chickpea soup for all our lives,onions,carrots and potatoes,most people only puts onions and the chickpeas and lemon of course and olive oil and always bread and feta cheese! kisses from Greece ❤
I’m surprised you use Parmesan as it contains rennet. This recipe looks very tasty.
yeah no that would not taste good
So chicken rice/noodle soup without the chicken
so you admit that most things that taste good have a stock made from bones !
You are an ovo-lacto-pescatarian.
I semi regularly do 24+ hour water fasts and if I make a tisane with mixed roasting herbs and lemon + salt (mostly for electrolytes) I swear it tastes EXACTLY like chicken broth. Can totally imagine this with extra umami from the cheese + the flavours from carrots/celery/onion. Literally everything but the chicken!
Justine, we don’t agree on anything politically or foodwise. But I enjoy watching your content. Came here for an intriguing recipe, but those last 20 seconds encouraged me. Experiencing something that hurts very much now so I’ll have a good outcome later. Needed that. Food can inadvertently unite people. Thank you.

chickpeas never feel satiating enough for me. i'm always left wanting more and hungry
I love Maisie's music so much! Also, I get the asking, because my mom one time ate an apple at a salad and was surprised at how good the "cheese" was
Time is an ingredient that people in our modern society forget about. I also think that its about the ingredient quality. There are more higher quality fresher chickpea
Looks so yummy! Thank you for sharing. ❤
I just went to your website and read the recipe. I was going to make chana masala with my soaked chickpeas but instead I'll be making your recipe. It sounds so delicious.
Where do you get the recipe? Or quantities?
No. The world is more bearable because of wise Sicilian Nonnas who are ALWAYS right ❤
❤
Try chole and bhature
You should definitely try Indian food which is so flavorful and no meat most times! 🙂 effortlessly vegan too
The omnivore instinct to add chicken stock to everything makes me very suspicious to any kind of dish as a vegetarian.
This is such a healthy way to eat soup😊
Love your voice…. So relaxing 😌
There is something so comforting about soup in the colder months.
i’m sorry but this looks terrible. Soggy veggies and chickpeas in a water??
BRAVA! A favorite in our home!
Why so much oil? 1/3 cup seems like a lot though it looks delicious
I'm a untrusting pescatarian- if food taste good i know its because it contains meat!!😂😂😂
The Parmesan rind? That’s a lot of delicious flavour. 😍
