25 minutes
Chickpea and spinach cream soup is a delicate and nutritious dish of European cuisine that combines simplicity in preparation with refined taste. The base of the soup is chickpeas, known for their rich texture and nutty flavor, while spinach adds freshness and a light herbal note. A subtle garlic aroma and creamy softness make it particularly cozy. This soup is perfect for those seeking a balance between healthiness and rich flavor. It works well as a standalone dish or paired with crispy toasts or cheese snacks. Balsamic vinegar adds a hint of acidity that highlights the depth of flavor. It's an excellent choice for a light lunch or dinner that delights with its harmonious blend of ingredients and provides a sense of comfort.
