Leek and Chickpea Soup

This is so simple and so yummy! Figures that I've been wanting to make it all week, with the nights getting chillier, and I go to make it tonight and it's 90 outside! But, the evening was still crisp enough to enjoy some soup :)

Ingredients:

1 Leek

1 can Garbanzo beans (chickpeas)

1 Carton Veggie broth

Some freshly chopped garlic

Olive Oil

Vegan butter spread, I used Earth Balance

Black pepper and a pinch of salt

Bread, for dipping!

Soooooooo easy. 

Chop up the white parts of the leek, put into a colander and rinse thoroughly, sometimes dirt gets stuck in between the layers. Dry on a paper towel. 

Warm the pot and melt some of the veg butter with some olive oil, no more than a tablespoon of each, and when melty through in the garlic and leeks

When they start smelling amaaaazing, throw in the chickpeas. Drain the water from the can first ;)

Mix until toasty!

Add Veggie broth and maybe a little water

Heat over medium flame, then cut up some bread, spread some butter on it, pour yourself a bowl and enjoy!

Much love, from my kitchen to yours!

Namaste!
