When preparing this garbanzo soup, I found a shortcut so I could serve it faster: I used canned garbanzos. I know, I’ve always said I prefer making things from scratch, but every once in a while, I use canned garbanzos because they’re really easy to use, and they’re delicious if rinsed well. When the soup is ready, I like to serve with tortilla chips. I also add avocado because I love avocado, and sometimes I use yogurt instead of cream. You can enjoy this soup on a cold night. I’m sure you’ll love it!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 leek (only the white part)
2 peeled garlic cloves
1 carrot, diced
1/2 marinated chipotle pepper, chopped (it can be whole)
2 cans of garbanzo beans, rinsed
Vegetable broth or water
Salt and pepper
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
1/2 cup Yoplait® All Natural Fat Free plain yogurt
Drops of olive oil
Avocado
Lemon wedges

Directions

1

Heat the oil in a pan. Add the leek and garlic, sautéing until it’s cooked and slightly brown.
2

Add the carrot and chipotle.
3

Add the garbanzos, and the broth or water, and take to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and cook until the vegetables are really soft. Add Salt and pepper.
4

Grind with an immersion blender or use a regular blender but be careful not to burn yourself.
5

Serve into bowls with some natural Yoplait® yogurt and a few drops of olive oil. Decorate with a few fresh rosemary leaves.
6

Serve with pieces of avocado and lemon to the side.
