Ingredients:

• 1 can (15 oz) of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well.
5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings, if necessary, by adding more salt and pepper to suit your taste.
7. Serve the WW Chickpea Soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
