Drain the cooked chickpeas and dice the onion.
Heat the olive oil in a pot and cook the onion over medium heat for 4 minutes, until lightly pink.
Add the crushed garlic and turn for 1 minute to release its aroma.
Add the chickpeas and 4 cups hot water, then add the salt; once it boils, simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
Add the sumac water and cook for 5 more minutes without boiling it too long; adjust the salt at the end.
Melt the butter in a separate pan and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes; drizzle over the soup and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Add the sumac water near the end of cooking; long boiling drives off its tart aroma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Bulgur pilaf and roasted green peppers go well alongside.
