1 can of chickpeas
3 of that same can's quantity of water
1 average pot of fresh beef stock
2 large sticks of celery cut into big chunks
one third of a large bunch of corriander tied tightly with cotton (if you have no asian shops nearbye then this will be at least half the regular bunch you get in a supermarket packet)
one third of a whole lemon
cook slowly for at least an hour if not 2
remove the corriander, lemon, celery and mash the soup with an old fashioned potatoe masher or similar. You do not want to blend it! The texture is important. Just break things up a bit...
Chop a couple of leeks very finely and stir fry them in olive oil with 2 crushed small dry chillies, one third of a lemon and add.
Then add the final ingredient...3 or 4 mashed boiled (preferably new) potatoes to thicken it.
Cook for an hour gently.
Chop (lots of) fresh corriander and place in bowls with small amount of good olive oil. Pour on soup. Serve...
Enjoy...*grin*
