Chickpea soup is certainly one of them, with many variations from one Mediterranean region to another. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-cnvs-dropcap-bordered wp-block-paragraph\">This recipe comes from Corsica, and it\u2019s a simple yet comforting and delicious soup. It\u2019s made with pasta\u2014vermicelli, to be exact\u2014though I suppose any short pasta would work. You can make this chickpea soup either plain or with tomatoes.
