Meatball Soup with Chickpeas and Potatoes is one of my favorite comfort foods. The chickpeas and meatballs provide lots of protein, while the potatoes give off a soft contrasting taste, making for a hearty soup fit for a main course. The best part of it all is that it will retain its flavor for days.
