Chickpea and Farfalle Soup may become another one of your cold-weather favorites.  It has classic winter-soup flavor, which comes from the herbes de Provence.  We admit to being rather picky when it comes to dried beans.  We think home-cooked chickpeas, rather than canned, provide the best flavor in any dish. But, like us, you may not always have home-cooked beans waiting for you in the fridge. So, keeping a stash of canned beans in the pantry is a good backup. So if canned is all you have, or if you don’t have time to start a batch of dried chickpeas in your slow cooker, go ahead and use canned chickpeas in this soup.
