Directions:
- Heat a soup pot over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking spray. Add onion, celery and carrots and sweat for a few minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and herbs and stir. Add to your liking - some people like it stronger or milder than others. BTW - If you tie the herbs with a string removal later is much easier.
- Cook for a minute or two and add chick peas. Season. Cook another minute and add the stock. Season again. Bring to a boil and quickly reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
- This soup is SO aromatic that your whole house will smell warm and cozy!
- Remove the herbs and puree soup. Normally I would use my hand held immersion blender here, but I decided to use my big regular blender because I wanted this soup to be velvety smooth. Use whatever equipment you feel works best for you.
- Pour the soup back to the pot and cook at low heat for another 15-20 minutes until it reduces further. Its important that it doesn't get too hot or simmer too long or the texture will get a bit grainy - this goes for any blended vegetable or cream based soup.
- I served the soup with a tiny drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil (I love the flavor and would rather use it here than in the cooking process) and some homemade garlic & rosemary croutons (let me know if you want me to post how I made these - but they are a super easy and great way to get use of some stale bread).
