Organic Chickpea and Spelt Soup

A 100% organic blend of legumes and cereals designed to create complete, nutritious soups with a deep, authentic flavor. The combination of white chickpeas, with their creamy texture and delicate taste; black chickpeas, an ancient and rare variety with a dark skin and an intense, slightly herbaceous flavor; and pearled spelt, which adds a rustic note and a pleasant chewiness, creates a nutritionally balanced dish thanks to the perfect meeting of legume proteins and the complex carbohydrates of the cereal. A soup that tells the story of Mediterranean biodiversity, ideal for those who want to bring peasant tradition to the table with a touch of uniqueness.

Soak the mixture in plenty of cold water for about 10 hours, preferably overnight. For optimal digestibility, add a pinch of baking soda to the soaking water. Drain, rinse under running water, and cook in water or vegetable broth for about 40 minutes over medium heat. Add salt only at the end of cooking and enrich with a sauté of onion, carrot, and celery. For a rustic soup, add peeled tomatoes, bay leaf, rosemary, and raw Sicilian extra virgin olive oil. Excellent with seasonal vegetables such as kale, chard, or pumpkin, with diced potatoes, or with the addition of short pasta like ditali or tubetti during the last few minutes of cooking. Also great with crumbled Sicilian sausage or crispy pancetta. To complete your pantry, pair it with Sicilian tomato purée and a good extra virgin olive oil.
