I'm always looking for cheap, easy, healthy and tasty dinners. This was very good. I used less broth and only smushed some of the chickpeas because I didn't want a soup - just somehting to serve over rice or couscous. It turned out great, but next time I'll use the amount of broth called for since the liquid was tasty and would be nice soaked up in the rice.

I thought it needed more spice than called for so I just added more cumin and cayanne pepper to taste. Yum. I'm eating leftovers right now :

This was great! I went a little heavy on the cayenne because we like a little heat, and held back just a little on the cinnamon based on some of the comments. And it was perfect for me. Didn't have any spinach, but didn't miss it. Served with a big hunk of crusty bread and it is a delicious, light, vegetarian meal.
AND it's sooo easy to make!

Very good soup, i added a small can of tomato paste to thicken it up a bit as well, and liked it much better. Also used honey in stead of sugar, and a squeeze of lemon to freshen it up a bit. will make again!

There is an indirect relationship to how good this soup is and the level of difficulty to prepare. Modify all you want but there's no need to as it's great the way it is. Had the family over and it went 12 for 12. Thank you!!

Simple, vegan and delicious!!! I skipped the sugar, didn't smash the chickpeas and served it over white rice. I love this recipe!!!

Hmmm. I agree with the previous reviewer - this is missing something. Blending or mashing some of the chickpeas gives this a nice texture, and the heat and flavor of the spices elevates this beyond a simple starving-student vegetarian soup. But the taste and smell is a bit sickly-sweet for me - maybe omitting the juices of the canned tomatoes, using fresh tomatoes, or adding lemon zest would make this taste fresher.

I should note I made several changes - cut cinnamon to 1/8 tsp, increased cayenne to 3/4 tsp, used a 1/2 tsp of honey instead of sugar, and added the juice of half a lemon. I also blended about half the soup, which I would strongly recommend to make the texture creamier.

Yum. Made exactly per the recipe and it was delicious. Made it a second time - and this time doubled the recipe. This dish has five things going for it that I was really looking for. 1. Cinnamon (health benefits. 2. Lots of garlic (health benefits. 3. Vegetarian. 4. Protein-packed. 5. Tastes incredible. Definitely recommend this one.

A fantastic seasonal dish. I love the balance of the sweet, smokey, and spicy flavors. But most of all, the aromas are simply amazing. I typically sub crushed red pepper for the cayenne and it works great.

Have made this as a fall/winter staple since I first found this recipe. My only change is to add just a "pinch" on cinnamon. "comfort" food at its finest!

Quick, simple soup to make. But the flavour just didn't work for me. The cinnamon seemed to dominate (even using slightly less than the recipe called for and the whole dish just seemed to be lacking something.
