Black Chickpea Soup

Black Chickpea Soup, a very easy recipe to make, and balanced nutritionally and, as I always say, an ideal “comfort food” for cold winter evenings. Changing eating habits, whether out of necessity or curiosity, certainly doesn’t unsettle anyone, not even a small experiment to broaden culinary horizons! Today I will try this black chickpea soup; its color intrigued me, and my curiosity led me to buy it to try the taste. Comment: I add that I am always open to culinary novelties, so I can assure you that the taste, if not the same, I’d say it’s superior, or probably it’s my tried-and-true simple home recipe from my mother’s kitchen.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
