Slow-Cooker Chicken & Chickpea Soup

So, like others here I definitely made alterations after reading other notes. I made this on the stove top, used chicken broth instead of just water. I doubled the recipe and up the amount of spices. I also added red peppers, diced up carrots to give it some sweetness. I sauté the onions for about five or six minutes ahead of time and then added the garlic for another minute before I added any liquids. I put a squeeze of a fresh lemon and lime and used canned white beans versus chickpeas. I also added spinach at the end. I found that the soup is definitely better the next day when the spices have a chance to melt together. To serve it, I put some shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of sour cream, some diced cilantro and avocado.

I used canned chickpeas Low sodium Broth instead of water Boneless chicken thighs Kalamata olives that were on hand Opted for cilantro Extra cayenne Tossed some baby spinach that was in the fridge as well. Good

Looks good, smells good 👍 😋 I think I'll add a little hot sauce to my dish

Will add more spice
