Cookinero 7 Apr 2025

Chickpea soup with meat is a hearty first course. Chickpeas, or Turkish peas, are legumes that contain a lot of protein and fiber. Before preparing chickpea dishes, you need to soak them in water overnight, so the cooking process will take much less time. Chickpea and beef soup is prepared with a large number of vegetables and spices, which can be added at your discretion. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
