Reserve 4 tablespoons of the chickpeas for garnish. Combine all other ingredients in a blender and puree into a smooth soup. If it’s too thick, simply add a little more water. Bring the soup to a boil in a pot and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Season the soup with salt and pepper and add the remaining chickpeas—or other vegetables, if desired. Fresh cilantro or parsley also work well as a topping, or—for those who like it spicy—a dash of Tabasco.
