Lemon Chicken Chickpea Soup

This is really good soup--and easy! I trimmed and cut up the chicken and then let it sit for a bit in the spice mix while I heated oil in the pan. Then while the chicken sauteed, I prepped the rest of the ingredients. All in all, the soup was ready in about an hour. For little effort (and little clean-up required), I got a very rich tasting and satisfying soup. The lemon gives it real freshness and the spicing provides a mild Indian subtext. The blurb for the soup recommends it as an antidote to winter. I can attest to the fact that it's great on a hot and muggy summer night.
