Put 2 cups cooked chickpeas in a pot with the garlic and cumin.
Boil the chickpeas in 4 cups water for 12 minutes.
Divide 4 slices of stale bread into small pieces in the bowls.
Pour the hot chickpea broth over the breads so they soften evenly.
Drizzle with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Leaving the bread pieces partly intact keeps the character of the soup.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with lemon juice drizzled on top.
