Thick chickpea soup with seafood is an ideal family meal. It alone can replace a whole meal - it will both feed and warm you up. In addition, it is quite easy to speed up its preparation time: just take canned chickpeas, which do not need to be cooked at all, instead of dry Turkish peas, which need to be boiled for two hours. In the end, no one will notice the difference. By the way, do not pour out the liquid from the can under any circumstances: this is the so-called aquafaba, which vegans use in abundance instead of milk and eggs. You can bake meringues, whip up sweet cream or make mayonnaise with it.
