Chickpea Soup
Recipe

1 cup of dried chickpeas 6-8 cups of water 1
teaspoon of baking powder 1/4 cup of olive oil 1
medium onion, thinly sliced leaves from one bunch
of celery 1 small carrot, cut in slices
(optional) 1 teaspoon of salt 1 tablespoon of
flour 2-3 large lemons

with Greek soups, the olive oil gets added at the
