Here's the soup..... 4 cups veggie stock...from cubes is fine One onion.finely diced One potato,finely diced One medium carrot,finely diced One stick celery,finely diced 6 cloves garlic-diced 3 tins chickpeas 2tsp ground cumin pinch saffron-optional 2tsp basil black pepper/cayenne to taste 1/2 cup peas 3tsp red wine vinegar 1 medium tomato-minced Saute the diced veggies along with the cumin, until starting to soften. Add the stock,and the basil ,saffron and pepper. Bring to the boil-and then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Let cool slightly-then whizz a bit with a hand blender-it should still be quite chunky. Add the vinegar,tomatoes and peas and re-heat gently.
