This Greek Chickpea Soup, known as Revithosoupa, is possibly the most flavorful chickpea soup I have ever tasted. Packed with Mediterranean flavors, super easy to make and done in about 30 minutes. Serve it next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish wine for an incredible meal.
Traditionally, this dish is made with dried chickpeas. However, I used jarred chickpeas, which is the same thing as the canned ones, just to make things easier and quicker. If you want to use dried chickpeas, soak 1 cup of dried chickpeas overnight in plenty of water, then simmer on a low-medium heat the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until tender.
To add more flavor into this soup, I added homemade vegetable broth instead of water. If you prefer, you can use water. But I do recommend you at least add in a vegetable bouillon cube. As it makes all the difference in the world in this recipe.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: The beauty of this soup, is that you can make a big batch of it and store it either in the fridge (up to 5 days) or even freeze it (up to 3 months), in an air-tight container. The longer it sits, the more flavor it develops.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
MY NONSTICK FRY PAN
EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
CHICKPEAS I USED
HOMEMADE VEGETABLE BROTH
SPANISH SEA SALT

Delicious! Adapted for Instant Pot; pressure cooked some dry chick peas, cleaned out the inner pot and proceeded. Very tasty.MY ONLY QUESTION: I can’t figure out where all the fat calories are coming from in the nutritional analysis. ???

The fat comes from the extra virgin olive oil, which is what truly flavors this soup, glad you enjoyed the dish! Much love 🙂

That seems like a lot of chickpeas for two people in this soup

I remembered…I also used dried chickpeas, soaked overnight! I undercooked them just slightly knowing it would sit 48hrs, and I’d reheat.27 . Feb . 2022

Delicious! I doubled (so glad we did!) and we ate it on day 3 (re-planned when we saw weather temperatures dropping).
Only “change”, and it’s really just a habit. I cooked onions to translucent alone before adding others. That way they brown just enough when starting.
We have farm chickens, so home broth stock was simply decadent in this!!27 . Feb . 2022

Sounds great!! Much love 🙂

Have just made and eaten this. Unfortunately all we could taste was the lemon which overpowered everything else, even the 4 cloves of garlic. Otherwise it might not have been a bad soup, but really hard to tell.26 . Feb . 2022

Loved this soup – I used canned chickpeas (Cici in Italian) and, sin of sins, I did not rinse them because I wanted the soup to thicken a bit. I too used vegetable stock. I’m thinking any bean can be substituted for chickpeas if one is so inclined. Thanks for this good, basic snowy-day recipe. Really good!21 . Feb . 2022
