I have so many great soup recipes on my blog like Greek lemon chicken soup and egg drop soup, but wanted to add a new recipe for a protein and fiber filled soup that is perfect for back to school season. This chickpea chicken soup is filled with satisfying chicken bone broth, which I love to make with my recipe for slow cooker chicken bone broth, chicken, veggies, and chickpeas.
