Another Boring Recipe :)

For lack of time to write anything significant I want to post another recipe. If you like soup, regardless of the fact that you may hate chick peas (it can be blended), you must try this recipe. I found it in an Outside issue last year.

Chick Pea and Leek Soup

12 oz can of chick peas
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
5 med. leeks, outer skins peeled and rinsed very well, chopped

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 c chicken broth (may need a little more if blending)
salt
pepper
parmesan cheese

Cook potato in boiling water until tender, but still holding shape.

Saute in butter and olive oil, leeks and garlic, but do not brown.

In large sauce pan combine leeds, garlic, potato, chick peas with two cups of broth. Simmer 15 min. Add last of broth. (If you would like to blend this soup which gives it a wonderful flavor, blend now in blender or food processor until smooth and add more broth if needed.) Serve with parmesan cheese and drizzle of olive oil.
