    Made a few changes:
    replaced the squash with sweet potatoes, used vegetable broth instead of water, added about a tablespoon of cilantro to the onion garlic base and a little cumin and turmeric
    Recipe was easy and delicious.

    The flavor could have been nice, but the chickpeas were still hard after 8 hours on low. We left it on for another couple hours, and they were still hard. I literally left it for 24 hours in the slow cooker, and the chickpeas *are still hard*! Maybe I had a dud batch of chickpeas, or maybe this recipe just doesn't work with dry beans. Not sure how other people got theirs to work out so well.

    Also, the disparity in sizing between thinly sliced onions (as directed and squash chunks (again as directed made the whole thing difficult to manage on a spoon. I may try this again in the future but without the chickpeas and using differently sized pieces.

    It's just surprising, since almost all items I've ever made from Food Network recipes have been at least 4 stars. Bummer.

    I made this for a party and used spinach instead of swiss chard and it turned out fantastic. Everyone loved it and since I had extra of all the ingredients, I made it again during the same week. Absolutely my new "go-to" recipe!

    I thought the stew soup was really good. I did use spinach instead of Swiss chard. I really have never eaten Swiss chard and did not want to chance it.I did add some corrainder about a teaspoon and a little extra salt it turned out really good. I also put some store bought crutons on for some crunch.

    This soup is fantastic! I've made it twice now and the first time I wasn't a fan of the Swiss chard stalks, so I left them out the second time, but sill used the leaves at the end. Absolutely delicious. It is essential to use the dried chickpeas - not from a can.

    I thought this was very good, after I tweaked it a bit. I added 1 tsp cumin and 1 tsp coriander the second time I made it. The Parmesan rind is essential! I just used spinach the second time I made it and I missed the chard. This is a keeper. I also used half sweet potato, half squash (didn't have enough squash and used an immersion blender just before serving, to make it thicker. Served over brown rice.
