You know fall is here when soup becomes are regular on the menu. I’m a little weird because I love soup all year long. Yes, even when it’s 100 degrees out I’ll still have soup because I love it and doing the Starch Solution, soup is a good preload it your having the right ones.
This soup is a great preload, even though it has chickpeas in it. The clear broth, kale and sweet potatoes make up the bulk of this soup, so even if you omit the chickpeas, you still have a fabulous soup. Cumin and cayenne gives this soup such a lovely flavor with just mild heat. It is reminiscent of the Mediterranean with it’s fresh ingredients, chickpeas, kale and spices with fresh lime juice at the end for brightness.
