4. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
5. Pour the chicken broth mixture (from step 1) into the saucepan with the sautéed vegetables. Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas.
6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. Add the shredded chicken to the soup. Stir in the lime juice and adobo sauce (if using).
8. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
