Creamy Piquillo Pepper and Chickpea Soup with Chicken

This soup has flavor beyond the sum of its parts, and the color is beautiful! I made it exactly as written but didn't feel the need to add hot sauce. What a plus that it's easy to make! Definitely a keeper.

Super simple to make; tasty,

This is a super recipe! Easy with nutritious ingredients. Had difficulty finding piquillo peppers so used Trader Joe's hot and sweet cherry peppers from the jar. Had all other ingredients on hand but subbed tricolor quinoa for the rice.
