Slow Cooker Garbanzo Bean Soup with Garlic, Sumac, Olive Oil, and Lemon from Kalyn's Kitchen featured on Slow Cooker or Pressure Cooker at SlowCookerFromScratch.com

A few years ago I fell in love with a lemony-flavored Mediterranean seasoning called Sumac, and it’s a generous drizzle of olive oil and sprinkling of Sumac that makes this Slow Cooker Garbanzo Bean (Chickpea) Soup with Garlic, Sumac, Olive Oil, and Lemon from Kalyn’s Kitchen so special. This is a soup I’ve made and enjoyed so many times that I’m featuring it for Friday Favorites this week, hoping to entice you to try it if you’re also a fan of these middle eastern flavors!

This is a lovely first course with all the flavors that make so many people like hummus, and garbanzos are a worldwide vegetarian food, making this perfect as a main dish meatless soup as well if you switch out the chicken broth for vegetable stock.  (Sumac can be purchased at Middle Eastern or Mediterranean markets, or ordered online. Links to food sources are never sponsored; I only link to online sources where I shop myself.)
