Notes
To make this soup spicier, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce. Taste as you go to prevent it from becoming overly spicy!
If you prefer a thicker broth, you can mash some of the chickpeas and potatoes with a fork or potato masher after simmering.
You can keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. (This dish actually tastes better the next day as the flavors continue to meld.)
If you're meal prepping a big batch of this Tuscan chickpea soup, freeze portions in containers for up to 3 months. Thaw them individually in the fridge overnight, then warm on the stovetop over low.
