---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a recipe for chick pea soup, handed down from father to son,
well maybe if I ever get a son...

- 8 cups chicken or beef stock
- 3 cups cooked chickpeas (canned OK)
- 1 tbsp Cumin seeds, crushed (this is important do not use preground)
- 2 med onions, coarsly chopped
  Simmer the above for 20 mins then puree in a blender or use a hand
  blender.
- 2 tbsp flour
- 4 tbsp butter
  Warm the butter, mix in flour and add to above a little at a time,
  stirring with a whisk.
- 1 cup half-and-half or similar
  Add to the above, salt and pepper to taste. You can add a little
  finely chopped leftover meat if you are so inclined.
