There's nothing better than healthy dinner ideas—except easy healthy dinner ideas. This set-it-and-forget-it slow-cooker soup recipe is just that. It simmers away all day, so you come home to a warm and healthy dinner the whole family will love. Using bone-in chicken thighs is the key to making rich soup without adding broth. Plus, if you're on a budget: thighs are less expensive than breasts, and dried chickpeas are a relatively inexpensive and versatile pantry item that's always good to stock up on.
1 ½ cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
4 cups water
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
4 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed, trimmed
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
¼ cup halved pitted oil-cured olives
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
