Spiced broccoli and chickpea soup
Background
This spiced broccoli and chickpea soup is very easy to make β perfect for detoxing or supporting your immune system. I normally make double amount and freeze several portions for quick, midweek lunches.Β Serve it with brown rice or wholesome flatbread. You can add more chilli powder if youβd like it very spicy.
