Meatless Monday - Broccoli Soup

Winter is the perfect time for soups and since broccoli is actually a cool season vegetable it's often freshest right now. It's also really, really good for you as well as really delicious. This recipe uses roasted garbanzo beans (chick peas) to add a little protein and crunch. To make them you just dump a can of garbanzo beans onto an oiled cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt and roast for about 15 - 20 minutes depending on how crunchy you want them. These make a great snack.
