Chickpea and Rice Tortilla Soup
• Rinsing rice helps reduce starch and improves soup texture. • Add more water if the soup thickens too much as it sits. • Flavor deepens after resting for 10 to 15 minutes. Health Benefits: This soup provides plant-based protein and fiber from chickpeas that support satiety, gut health, and steadier blood sugar response. Rice supplies energy-supporting carbohydrates, while tomatoes and spices contribute antioxidants that support immune and metabolic health. The combination of fiber, protein, and complex carbs helps promote more stable energy and fullness.
