Ingredients[]
- 6 onions
- 4 – 6 potatoes
- 1 can chickpeas
- 3 big lemons

- ¼ tsp cayenne
- lots of garlic
- 1 large eggplant, chopped and salted
- 4 – 6 tomatoes

Directions[]
- Prepare your chickpeas in advance by soaking in lemon juice.
- You can add all the leftover juice to the soup.
- Sauté the onions, spices, and garlic in oil.

- If you add ingredients as the soup is cooking, do the potatoes first, because they seem to take the longest.
- Simmer everything until done, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if available.
