Chickpea Zucchini Stew Recipe

January is a great time of year to experiment with new recipes for soups and stews. It is cold and windy outside, the charm of the holiday season has come and gone, and we are all anxiously awaiting the warmer months. 

Well, summer is still a long way away, so let’s bring a little bit of warmth to our bellies in lieu of the warmth of the sun. Let’s face it, there is nothing better than a hearty bowl of soup to provide some warmth to the head and the heart. Another reason to love soup season is the ease and simplicity of throwing delicious vegetables and herbs in a pot to create a dynamic and delicious meal.

This recipe is no different. Easy, hearty, and protein-packed, this Chickpea Zucchini Stew is truly a one-pot wonder.
