- From Quarantine Kitchen: In these extreme times of social isolation and quarantine, I want to show you how to make the most of a few simple ingredients in your pantry, like dried chickpeas or any bean, simple vegetables and some extra virgin olive oil. This rustic chickpea soup is very cost effective, nutritious, easy to make and most of all delicious. The idea is to use up whatever you have in your pantry and fridge. FULL RECIPE BELOW

Made it from recipe. Served with sheep’s feta on baguette. Yum!! I thought I didn’t like chickpeas! Thank you, Christine. This was as easy as you said, and tasty enough to go into regular rotation.
Freezing dill!!! What a good idea.
Elizabeth thank you. It super helpful , especially with feathery dill. I now do it throughout the winter for most herbs. It’s so practical to just open freezer
And be able to sprinkle from a Variety of herbs. Hope you are keeping well
Yes it's truly a simple & hearty dish. With lemon flavour , really delicious
Arun Gopal it’s so true. We love it
I just sent this to my vegetarian daughter - she's going to love this !! Thanks for this !!
You are most welcome. ! I'm sure she will
Never tried to add lemon zest to a soup. I'll make this for dinner because i have a lot of chickpeas in my pantry. Thanks, Christine. Greetings from Italy
Thank you , yes the lemon zest and dill really make a huge difference! Hoping that you are well in Italy and thank you for watching
wolkrastgh we feel for Italy 🇮🇹
Thanks Christine looks delicious and warming
Fantastic and so helpful. Thank you Christine
I going to cook tomorrow. will go and buy some garlic bread. I love garbanzo beans. I am a senior and I get monthly food bank and they give time to time dried beans. I cannot wait to try it. thank you for sharing.
Fantastic ! These are great.
This looks outstanding and on my to do list for the upcoming week! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.Enjoy !
I had chickpeas with couscous the other day (lemon, olive oil). Salad, the next (chickpea, red onion, tomatoes). Gonna try this 😋
Hope you enjoyed it !
This soup is so simple yet filling. I am making this a second time for dinner. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I also freeze fresh herbs - it’s especially great to have my own, homegrown, fresh herbs in winter. I take a different approach: I chop them up fine and put them in ice cube trays, fill the tray with water then freeze. After their frozen, I put them in a freezer bag and voila! For soups you can just drop a cube or two in the stock. You can also thaw in a microwave and drain the water; I usually drop the cube(s) in a glass measuring cup to do that, then run through a strainer. You can also freeze your own homemade pesto - just put the pesto in a freezer bag and put it in the freezer.
I will have a bowl of that delicious soup and a slice of that fresh bread sitting on the back counter, please!! I can watch your show all day..
haha Thank you . I can offer you a focaccia video for bread... stay tuned ...
Jupe367 that’s a good idea
I've been looking for a soup using chick peas, thank you for this. It's on the menu this week!
Perfect . Enjoy the rest of your Sunday
Thanks Christine. Love the drizzle of olive oil which we always put on our bean soups! Delish! The Italians also love the olive oil. Thank you, thank you.
Just found your you tube channel. Enjoying your soups. This chick peas and barley soups. I also enjoyed you program on Chinese food shows. Glad I found you. Thank you.
Really nice simple soup! Love it. I have already cooked dried chickpeas and home made chicken/carrot broth and I'm gonna play with what I have and make this right now!
Thank you, Christine!
Thanks Christine. My mom used to make a similar soup when I was growing up. Hope your all well ☺️
It really is the epitome of a comforting dish. Thank you for watching
Excellent dish for Lent during the stay in place order. Thanks, Christine.
Donna it’s perfect , I agree. Keep safe
And stay tuned for more
I love the look of the chickpeas soup and wished to be there to help you eat it. After viewing some of your videos my interest in cooking more at home have increased over the days and my pantry is being cleared of items I have had for some time. I love soups and that one does look great even though I am not Greek. I hope you are keeping busy at home during these weird times and not getting depressed as you avoid going out and staying away from the crowds.
I was looking for a recipe to use my chick pas, so I will try this recipe!
I hope you try it. You will really love it
Thanks Christine! This will definitely be my next soup.
let me know how it turns out
I have made the soup and enjoyed making it. The recipe opens our mind to other possibilities by using vegetables you have in your fridge such as leeks and adding a parmesan rind. Great idea! Thank you for the inspiration. Now, more than ever, we need it. I always look forward to your next video.🤗
Love your recipes. Thank you!
My pleasure ! Thank you
Dear Cristine, I just prepared today your chicken soup. Thank you, thank you just delicious. The best chicken soup I ever made in my life. You are a great teacher to follow. And a great sense of humor. Opa! Wishing you well, I will be saving and making your delicious recipes. 💓🦋
Thank you so much ! That chicken soup instantly makes us feel better whenever I make it. Be well
OMG I love it 👏
Looks good. Thanks!
Thank you too!
That looks delicious. (And your camera person did a great job filming this session. ☺️)
Thank you, he is very happy that you noticed as he works very hard to bring you a great experience that is easy to follow
MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing He (I assume your husband) is doing an amazing job!!
You are very natural on camera. Keep it up!
Thanks so much !
Hi Christine....Wow....THAT looks so good and easy to make! Gonna try this one for sure. Thanks for sharing yummy recipe! Wish I had some RIGHT NOW!
Nice easy chick pea soup! Love it for Autumn season coming up. I love how easy it is and quick preparation. And could use dill or spinish as well so yes GREAT idea . Invest in quality olive oil too. Greek foods are new for me . So makes for new seasoning and use of hello! Lemmon. I sometimes use green limes. In my Mexican American soups.
This is the kind of confort food we have in Spain every lunch. If you like this type of meal you should try the “cocido madrileńo”. That’s heaven in your table😇😇😋😋😋. Thanks for sharing
Crystina Luna I had the pleasure of trying the cocido in Madrid a couple of years ago. It was beautiful ! Looking forward to those times again soon . Be safe
Wow, this looks delicious! I am gonna go out and get dried chickpeas and chili flakes!!!! Mahalo nui loa for the inspiration🌺Aloha
Hope you enjoy ! Aloha(. always sounds so good )
@@ChristineCushing ♥️♥️♥️Your Aloha shines so bright because we are nourished in our mind, body and spirit in the food you share with th passion of your ancestors, me ka ha’aha’a… with true humbleness🌺
Hi Christine, I love to watch your videos. Your explain everything so easily and make it sound so simple. Makes me feel like " I can do this." I've got my chickpeas soaking now. I will be making your soup tomorrow. 🍋 zest and juice included. Thanks for the great videos and teaching us how to make these great dishes.
Rhonda
You are most welcome. How did the chick peas tune out ? Thank you
@@ChristineCushing it turned out amazing. Everyone loved it. Thanks again.😊
I like you. Remind me of my mom. Lol but great vid made this soup several times
This would be perfect to adapt to cooking in the Instant pot. Yum!
Definitely !
MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing I made this yesterday, doubling the recipe. 35 minutes in the Instant Pot was perfect. I even went out and bought fresh dill to accompany it. This will definitely be a regular recipe for me now. Hearty and nutritious. Love the tang the lemon gives.
Oh Christine, another great recipe that anyone can put together. Thanks for this scrumptious soup recipe!! Bless you.
You are so welcome!
Love it 😍...Can you please cook moussaka!!
Yum, yum. I have to try making this. Looks very user friendly. Thank you for sharing and keeping it simple!
It's so good!
I will definitely make this for lunch today! Unfortunately I don’t have dry chickpeas only canned. Looks so good😋😋
Thanks!
Stay well!
Hi Christine. Loved watching you on TV from years ago, and so excited to find all these recipes on You Tube. Family and I love all the new Greek recipes I've tried so far, except for my 2 young grandchildren. As much as I love my Italian meals, I've always loved trying new recipes, yet, keeping our likes and dislikes in mind . I'm about to make this again, and want to send some to my Greek son-in-law's Mom. She's over 80 and quarantined alone, since she's, understandably, afraid to come stay with us. Can I freeze this soup so he can bring it to her? I personally have never liked freezing prepared food, so I'm not comfortable doing so, even though I know my sisters-in-law and friends do it all the time. What do you think?
Very positive video
THank you !
Good Video👍🏾The Dill is the kicker and it does enhance the flavors!!!You should be on the Food Network(Good Personality)!!!Awesome Job🙏🏿
What a great recipe😋, I will be making this for my family. I have limes I hope that will be ok try not to go shopping a lot since this 🦠 started I always have limes since I make many Mexican dishes but Greek soup sounds heavenly , Thank you for sharing and helping us all with yr beautiful attitude and so yummy dishes❤️
Thank you so much . Yes, it's all about improvising , so the limes will work . Hope you are well
I would be so interested in seeing that Live show. I am a true believer.
Marie Laveee thank you so much ! It was such a fun show and you really didn’t know what was going to happen on any given night. It was a magical time.
I'm over a year late to the party but I'm making this today!
I hope you loved it ! Thank you! it's never to late to join the party.
@@ChristineCushing It was great! Thank you!
Looks good! Sure it will taste good too! I will get lemons and dill cant wait
Hope you enjoy
Love this recipe of chickpea soup. And yes I added spinach dill and more lemon!
Any instant pot recipes?
You should have way more subscriptions.
And may I put in a request
Can you cook lamb shanks lol
Love to watch all the yummy recipes you make and your instructions and the visual is great, very helpful. I am going to try your tsoureki recipe for Easter this year.
A question, about the chickpea soup. I've been told to add the salt at the end of the cooking process. Does adding the salt early on make the chickpeas difficult to cook? Even if they are soaked?
That was great. Just realized we have quite of bit of canned chickpeas, so this is perfect right now for the quarantine.
Do you think if I added bit of saffron to the sautéd vegetables, it would completely change the flavour?
Thanks again.
croguy my pleasure ! The saffron would definitely add it’s flavour but it would also be nice, if you don’t add too much. I hope this helps.
@@ChristineCushing Perfect. Thank you for answering. Happy Easter in case you are celebrating.
@@croguy Yes thank you we are celebrating Orthodox Easter next weekend.
you always send me zephyr that smell lemon, oregano, dill and so on. so nice and beautiful.
Loved this! Can you please make Greek potato cauliflower dish w spicy cinnamon red sauce I had in southern Greece once omg it was heavenly . Thank you😁
Great idea. I have never had that dish.. it sounds interesting though.
I think you mean "kounoupidi kapama" -- search for it. I hope you are able to recreate your memory.
@@jessicaisaacson567 thank you!💙💙🧿🙏🏼
I love ChicPeas! I think my Ancestry was wrong😆 I’m not Irish/Scottish but Greek! I eat a lemon a day! Love it on everything😃
I think you're right. Thanks for watching
What kind of carrots are those??? Never seen them before.
They are heirloom , organic carrots. Thanks for watching
Were the carrots red and yellow??? I’ve never seen that
They are heirloom organic carrots that I happened to have in my fridge. They look beautiful and great flavour. Thanks for watching
I wondered that, too!!
In NORWAY we call this ERTESOUP. A very traditional here. So this is adapted from NORWAY :-)
spanakopita and tiropita are one of the few Greek foods that don't have lemon in them.
So true !
Christine. Any chance you can figure out how to duplicate cloverleaf brand spicy thai chili tuna ?
How do you get chickpeas tender? Even canned ones don't seem able to become tender.
I do find 24 hour soaking is even better with beans.
Yellow carrots? Hmm nice.
Always like to soak whatever dried bean until it begins to sprout. Not Hard. Start the day before. A[art from flavour look at what is in can, beside beans..?
Where did you get the psn
Some potatoes In it would be even more filling
Yes definitely some potatoes , sweet potatoes, squash would all be great additions. Thanks for watching
I like vinegar better than 🍋 on salads.
It needs more lemon! Squeeze the the other half in there and maybe add a tablespoon or two of olive oil towards the end.
Do you have a rustic bread recipe to demonstrate?
I have NEVER seen carrots that look like that.
They are heirloom carrots, I happened to have in my fridge. The flavour is the same but they look great. Thanks for watching
Sorry by difficult I mean are they hard, take longer to soften
🌿🍋🍲🍋🍲🍋🌿
What's that ringing sound?
Good recipe but i wd use way less oil as its so fattening it ed take hours of running to run it all off the hips etc eh!
What kind of carrots did you use?
They are organic heirloom carrots, with these interesting colours. Thank you
A little chicken-stock does not hurt......
Food looks good; but you need to fix your audio. Your voice only comes out of one speaker (the right).
Debunkosaurus thank you for the heads up. We are using a lav that needs to be mixed with camera mic in final edit. We have told our editor to fix it.
Can you do a Briam video?
Ok , I will add to the list. Thank you
Who is your cameraman?
Next time: Quarantine hummus?
And to short boiling-time. You will FART like hell.... :-D At least a couple of ours cooking-time....
Why are RUclips cooks all attaching “quarantine” to their channels? Cooking is cooking, and grocery stores are all open... stupid!
Damn, this woman is so hot! I love her personality and style.
@ChristineCushing....why do you not know why you added a bay leaf but you know all about lemons???
