Roasted garlic and chickpea soup

Baked garlic and chickpea soup is spicy, flavourful and very enjoyable, especially during winter. If you have never made roasted garlic, you should try the following recipe: place the heads of garlic with their ends cut off on baking paper, add some oil, salt and pepper, wrap up the baking paper and bake for an hour. The garlic cloves will turn sweet and soft.
