Servings: 3

1Tbspolive oil or extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling if you wish
3large garlic cloves, minced
1tsppaprika
1tspdried rosemary
½tspdried thyme
¼tspchili flakes (or crushed red pepper, same thing)
Drain only one of cans of chickpeas and pour the second one with its liquid into a blender. Purée until smooth.
Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat, add the garlic and sauté for about 45/60 seconds, or just until fragrant.
Add the puréed chickpeas, the second can of drained chickpeas, the potato, parprika, thyme, rosemary, chili flakes, and some freshly cracked pepper and give a good stir. Add broth and stir again.
Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the soup to a boil. Then turn the heat down to medium low and allow it to simmer for 25 minutes, stir occasionally.
Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your liking (it depends mostly on the salt content of your broth, I added about ¼ tsp of salt).
Serve hot with freshly ground pepper, a drizzle of olive oil if you wish, and delicious crusty bread for dipping!
