My mission this autumn and winter is to create some new soup recipes. I love eating soup all year round, but especially this time of year. It’s so warm and comforting. I struggled with what to name this soup, because anything I came up with seemed long and awkward. I decided to be descriptive and clear. So, here is my recipe for Rosemary-Scented Chicken Broth with Potatoes and Chickpeas. It’s not a glamorous name, but it gives you a good idea of what this soup is all about.
Rosemary goes so well with chicken broth. It imparts a lovely scent and flavor to this soup, so you don’t need many other herbs or spices besides a little salt and pepper.
This recipe will feed four people with enough left over if anyone wants seconds. And they will, trust me!
I served this soup with homemade rosemary croutons.
