If you replace ordinary peas in pea soup with chickpeas, you get the same delicious soup, but still a little different in appearance and taste. First, chickpeas, even with long-term cooking, remain whole and fairly solid, it does not disintegrate into gruel, like peas, so the soup from it turns out transparent and beautiful (on the other hand, if the task is to cook puree soup, then here place ordinary peas). Secondly, chickpea itself has a stronger taste and will add a new note to the meat broth.
Like other legumes, chickpeas should be soaked in water for 10-12 hours before cooking, and the water in which it is soaked is not used for cooking, since oligosaccharides dissolve in it - the main reason why legumes can cause problems with digestion.

- potatoes - 300 g (about 5 pieces);
