Add the stock, chickpeas, and 4 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer for 1 hour.

CHICKPEA & VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• If you have been soaking the chickpeas over night, rinse and place in large pan with sufficient water to cover them well. Bring to boil, then let cook at a gentle boil for 1h 40mins. Once cooked put to one side. If using jar/tinned chickpeas skip this step.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat then add the onion, cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until soft. Next add the garlic, chilli, celery and carrot and cook for another 5 minutes, then add the coriander, cumin and fennel seeds...cook stirring for 1 more minute.
• Dice the potatoes and butternut squash the same size so they cook evenly and add to the saucepan. Add the red pepper, green beans, can of tomatoes, vegetable stock and lentils. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 30mins.
• Add the chickpeas and cook a further 10 minutes. Check seasoning.
• Remove from the heat and stir in coriander and parsley.
