- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 teacup olive oil
- 200 gr rice for soup

The night before wash the chickpeas with fresh water and put them in a bowl with water and soda to soak for at least 12 hours. After that rinse the chickpeas and put them in a pot with salted water and boil them. During boiling skim the foam they produce with the help of a spoon. Once the chickpeas are tender enough add the onion. Continue to boil until you are left with a little broth. Add the rice and wait until it softens and the soup chelates. Add the olive oil, the lemon juice and the black pepper and stir. In a couple of minutes you are ready to serve. Season with some rosemary and enjoy an extra nutricius meal.
