Boil 2 cups cooked chickpeas in 4 cups hot water.
Whisk 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon flour, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth.
Add two ladles of hot water to the liaison to warm it, so it does not curdle when it enters the pot.
Pour the liaison into the chickpeas in a thin stream and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring.
Adjust the salt, heat the butter with red pepper flakes for 45 seconds, and drizzle it over the soup.
Serve with a lemon wedge on the side so the tartness can be balanced at the table.
💡 Tip: Tempering the liaison with soup before adding it to the pot prevents curdling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot, sprinkled with mint on top.
