Speaking of Chic Peas. Here is a blended CP soup with home made french bread. I soaked the CP over night and simmered this am. Added celery, onions, bell peppers, rosemary, thyme and basil from the garden/freezer. Cardamon, fenugreek, bay leaves, hot/mild pepper powder/flakes and a lil ginger. Pulled the bay leaves and blended.
