Stir in the garlic, paprika, cumin and cayenne until combined. Stir in the chickpeas, tomatoes with their liquid and chicken broth until combined. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with the salt and black pepper. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.

MOROCCAN SPICED CHICKPEA SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until the onions begin to turn translucent; lower heat if browning starts to occur. Add spices and saute a minute or so. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, broth, and sugar. Season with a couple pinches of salt and 10 grinds fresh pepper. Stir well. Chickpeas should be just covered with liquid. If level is shy, add some water so the chickpeas are just covered.
• Bring to a simmer, then lower heat to low and gently simmer for 45 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat. Use a potato masher to mash up some of the chickpeas right in the pot. Stir in the spinach and let heat through until wilted, just a couple minutes.
• Season again, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Serve soup, drizzled lightly with extra-virgin olive oil, if desired.

Add the vegetable mixture to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the potatoes, chickpeas (with their liquid), chicken broth, 1 cup water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then uncover and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the dark green scallion tops.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shrimp, paprika and chorizo. Cover and let stand until the shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the soup among bowls. Sprinkle with the sliced scallion greens and drizzle with olive oil.

COMFORT SOUP (CHICKPEA AND BACON)

Steps:

• Saute onion, garlic and bacon together until the onion is soft and translucent. Don't be tempted to drain the bacon fat (I use a rather lean bacon, anyway, and there's not that much fat - if you have tons of it, then remove some). Add the chickpeas, carrots, tomato paste, bay leaf and 1 1/2 quarts water. Season to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered for 1/2 an hour. Add the pearl barley and simmer for another 40-60 minutes, or until the chickpeas and barley are cooked through and the soup is quite thick (if the soup is too thick, thin with a little hot water until you achieve the consistency you desire).
• This was a really satisfying meal with a tossed green salad and garlic bread.
