    This was the first recipe of David's I have made, and it was so easy and so yummy, after eating the first bowl, I went back and polished it off. Made it exactly as the recipe called for, except used a 15 ounce can of chickpeas, becasue that's the size ours were in. Thanks David!

    A very simple and tasty soup - perfect for a light lunch or supper. I did make a few adjustments to the recipe to suit my needs. I used two 15oz cans of chickpeas and one can of crushed tomatoes. Sauteed diced onion, rosemary, and garlic. Added chickpeas and tomatoes. Squished up 1/3 of chickpeas. Added 3 1/2 cups water. Stirred in a tablespoon of parmesan cheese with salt and a ridiculous amount of freshly ground black pepper. I think the tomato & cheese helped make the broth a little thicker and certainly much more flavorful. It was hot and tasty and plain delicious!

    Amazingly good and nearly as simple as opening a can. I saute the rosemary with the onion (shallots in my case as David demo'd on the show which may help with favor base. I also pureed some of the beans and added the parma/reggiano cheese and dizzle of olive oil in each bowl. Key to these recipes is to use excelent olive oil in the quanities called for which seems like a lot for us non Italians.
