12. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

13. Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

15. Serve roasted chickpeas on top of soup for added texture.

Notes

The soup is calculated without the roasted chickpeas included in the nutrition.

To keep the soup vegan and dairy-free, use coconut cream with lemon juice in place of yogurt.

For best texture, add creamy toppings like yogurt or coconut cream just before serving.

Soup stores well and can be frozen without the dairy stirred in.
