Instructions

Prep the chickpeas by gently squeezing them one by one to remove the outer skins. Throw the skins away and reserve the chickpeas.
Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion for a few minutes until it begins to caramelize.
Add the butternut squash pieces, marrow bone, skinned chickpeas and spices to the pot.
Fill the pot with water till all ingredients are completely covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Skim the foam from the top of the broth.
Cover the pot, vented slightly, and slowly simmer the soup for 2 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste after the first hour of cooking.
Serve hot. Garnish each bowl with fresh parsley.
