Zimino di ceci

Zimino di ceci is a traditional soup originating from Liguria. It's made with chickpeas, olive oil, celery, onions, garlic, dried mushrooms, plum tomatoes, and Swiss chard. The ingredients are sautéed in olive oil, then the tomatoes, chard, and cooked chickpeas are added, while the cooking water from the chickpeas needs to be set aside for later.


The sautéed ingredients are combined with the other ingredients and the cooking water, and the soup is seasoned with salt. Zimino di ceci is typically served hot, and it's recommended to serve it over toasted bread.
