Can I sub in chicken bone broth for the vegetable stock?

Thanks, Lori. I'm pregnant and was instructed to increase protein wherever I can since I was not getting enough. I will try this with the chicken bone broth and report back. Thanks!

Of course you can substitute in whatever sort of broth you would like to use. The chickpeas are already bringing in quite a bit of protein themselves, but there is nothing to keep you from upping the score with the chicken broth. It could end up a little more on the savory meaty side, due to that choice, but it will still be plenty tasty. Plenty of folks make potato leek soup using chicken broth, me included - so it's not as if it's a rebel soup prep thing.
