Spicy bean and chickpea soup
This aromatic, spicy soup is ready within 15 minutes. It’s filling, zingy and simply delicious. I make this regularly on days when I don’t have much time to cook or want something to warm me up. It’s also great on bonfire night and for Halloween parties. Serve it with pita or other kinds of flatbread.
