Coconut Milk Chickpea Curry Soup

 


I always disliked chickpeas, lentils, and sweet potatoes, but I grew up on a dish called Curry Chicken Soup. So, when I was asked to try this recipe, I couldn’t turn it down, as it was being requested by someone I adored and respected. Her culinary delights were always amazing, so I agreed. Surprisingly enough, I liked it and have made it several times, but I leave out the sweet potatoes because I don’t like them at all.  However, I left the sweet potatoes out of this recipe out of respect for my friend. Enjoy

1/4 teaspoon pepper

6 cups vegetable broth
