My Easy Chickpea Stew is just that, easy! It comes together quickly and cooks in about 20 minutes. It makes a huge amount and is vegan, dairy, gluten, and soy free, making it a great option for a large group. It does have a good amount of heat, so cut back on the cayenne if you don’t care for spice. Hope you’ll give my Easy Chickpea Stew a shot and let me know what you think.
