Garbanzo Bean Soup This seems like a lot of work but it's so worth it and your kitchen is going to smell wonderful ;-)

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped

6 large basil leaves
4 large sage leaves
4 sprigs Italian parsley
Leaves from 2-inch sprig rosemary
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 (15-oz.) can garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed
5 medium tomatoes, chopped, juice reserved
1 (14.5-oz) can chicken broth
1/8 tsp. pepper

Directions:

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until the oil is hot. Add onion and cook 5 minutes or until softened, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, chop together basil, sage, parsley and rosemary. When onion is softened, add herb mixture, garlic and beans. Cook 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and reserve half of the bean mixture. Add tomatoes with juices, broth and pepper in the pot.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Puree in blender or food processor, in batches if necessary. Return to pot stir in reserved bean mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until warm.
