CHICKPEA AND LEEK SOUP
This is a recipe that my Aussie friend Bender found in some old recipe book. It is quick and easy to make and it tastes fantastic. The chickpeas go really creamy and the leeks go silky and sweet. These are just two simple flavors, and even though I'm a bit of a fresh-herbs-boy, this lovely light soup is very tasty.

Steps:
- Rinse the soaked chickpeas, cover with water, and cook with the potato until tender. Remove the outer skin of the leeks, slice lengthways from the root up, wash carefully and slice finely.
- Warm a thick-bottomed pan, and add the tablespoon of oil and the knob of butter. Add the leeks and garlic to the pan, and sweat gently with a good pinch of salt until tender and sweet. Add the drained chickpeas and potato and cook for 1 minute. Add about 2/3 of the stock and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Puree half of the soup in a food processor, and leave the other half chunky. This gives a lovely smooth comforting feel but also keeps a bit of texture. Now, add enough of the remaining stock to achieve the consistency you like. Check for seasoning, and add Parmesan, to taste, to round off the flavors.
- This is classy enough for a starter, but I like it best for lunch in a big bowl with a good drizzle of my best peppery extra-virgin olive oil, a grinding of black pepper and an extra sprinkling of Parmesan.

A slight variation from a recipe from the South River Miso company. This is a great way to use up leftover brown rice, and makes a hearty soup. Can be made without rice for a lighter meal.

Steps:
- Rinse the soaked chick peas and cover with water.
- Add chopped potato and cook until veggies are tender.
- Clean, wash, and mince the leeks.
- Heat a large soup pan, spray with Pam.
- Add the leeks and garlic, cook slowly with a good pinch of salt.
- Add the chickpeas and potato and cook for a minute.
- Add 2/3 of the bouillon and cook for 15 minutes.
- Decide if you want to purée the soup, purée part, or not purée at all.
- I like the purée part of the soup option and add back to the pot, so half is puréed and half chunky.
- The easiest way it to use an immersion mixer, and blend until you have the consistency you want.
- Add however much of the left over 1/3 bouillon to get the texture you want, salt and pepper to taste, add 1T of grated Parmesan and mix Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan over the top to serve.
