quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

A friend of ours sent us this recipe. We haven't tried it yet, but we're going to tonight. It looks great!!

Chickpea and Leek Soup Recipe serves 4

1 can of chickpeas or two cups of dry chickpeas
2 leeks (most grocery stores sell them in groups of 3)
1 small potato
Vegetable broth (or chicken?)
salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

If you use a can of chickpeas, rinse them well and bring them to a boil for a minute to help get rid of any preservatives. If you use dry chickpeas, soak them in water overnight and cook them over medium heat for about an hour or until tender.
Cut leeks in half lengthwise and soak in water to remove dirt. Chop leeks and potato into bite-size pieces and boil them in just enough water to cover them for about 10 minutes or until tender.
Add chickpeas and allow all ingredients to sit on low heat for a minute or two.
Blend ingredients in a food processor or blender. Return blended mixture to pot, and add vegetable broth until desired consistency is reached. Season with sea salt if desired.

We're going to have it with some good crusty bread!
