Ingredients

    1 tabs Extra virgin olive oil
    2 cloves Garlic
    1/2 Fennel (I used a whole baby fennel), diced
    4 sticks Celery, diced
    3 Leeks, sliced
    3-4 cups Vegetable stock (I used 3 stock and 2 water)
    1 can Chick Peas (use dry ones to reduce sodium level)
    6 Baby Potatoes, quatered

Directions

Makes 6 Serves

Fry off garlic, fennel, celery and leeks in olive oil until soft and reduced.

Add stock/water, chickpeas and potatoes.

Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 1 hour. Take lid off and simmer until reduced to your liking.

If you like you can put half into the blender and process until smooth. Add it back into the remaining soup and it makes it really creamy with chunks of chickpeas and potato. YUM!

    Very Good
    So hearty! I use dried chickpeas for a better texture and skip the fennel and add more leek. Delicious and filling as either a side or a meal. - 11/12/11
