Chick pea & spinach soup

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 large Onion, chopped
4 Cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup Skim milk
16 ounces Can chick peas, drained and rinsed
4 cups To 5 c fresh spinach, rinsed, dried, and shredded
⅛ teaspoon Cardamom
⅛ teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Saute the onion and garlic over low heat, covered, until the onion is translucent.

Add the milk and raise heat to medium, and cook until a boil is just reached, stirring constantly. Add the chick peas, spinach, and spices, and continue to cook and stir. When spinach is completely wilted, remove a cup and a half of the soup to a blender and puree.

Return the puree to the soup, stir well, and serve hot. Makes 4 servings.
