How to make soup with garbanzo beans
Sauté the vegetables. Heat a Dutch oven or stockpot to medium-high, and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, celery, carrots and potatoes.
Season with a little bit of coarse salt. Then, sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
Simmer the soup. Add the tomatoes and stock to the pot. Then, drop in the bay leaf and rosemary.
Add the garbanzo beans and bring the soup to a simmer and cover the pot.
Let the soup simmer until the potatoes are tender. This usually takes about 10 minutes.
Next, remove the bay leaf and rosemary sprig, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
Thicken the soup (optional). If you want to thicken the soup a little, remove about 1 cup of soup and blend until smooth. You can do this with a high speed or immersion blender.
