Some dishes you don’t do very often, although they are easy to make and all the ingredients you usually have in your pantry anyway. Today we even have a dish that young and old will like, because everyone likes chickpeas, potatoes and a delicious tomato-based soup.
Cumin and coriander give our chickpea stew an oriental touch, but it is also delicious for the European taste.
We decided to use carrots, potatoes and courgettes as vegetables, but of course you can use your favorite vegetables here. Often you have leftover vegetables that are no longer quite as fresh. You can use them up perfectly in such a stew.

Notes
It goes best with some fresh bread.
The next day, when there is perhaps less of the sauce left, it also goes perfectly as a sauce with rice.
