Chickpea and mixed vegetable soup

When there is no time to chop fresh vegetables, Sahar mixed vegetables do the work. Chickpeas make the soup filling; chicken and onion stock powders taste like a homemade broth. Add Golestan thyme at the end so it stays fragrant. If the soup is thin, mash a few chickpeas against the pot; the starch thickens it.
