Recipe Notes
- If you don't have vegetable stock you can substitute chicken broth.
- Any paprika will do if you don't have sweet Hungarian.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Here's how to make it:
- In a large Dutch oven or stock pot heat the oil from the sun dried tomatoes on medium. When the oil is hot add the shallot and cook until soft, making sure to stir often, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the sundried tomatoes and garlic and keep stirring for 2 more minutes.
- Add chickpeas, Italian seasonings, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, water and broth. Bring to a boil. Stir every now and then until the chickpeas are warm, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and 1 tablespoon of the basil. Cook until it begins to bubble at the edges.
- Turn off the heat and stir in 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve warm topped with more grated Parmesan, a light sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes and a bit more fresh basil and enjoy!
