Soup=Bliss

How much easier can you obtain bliss than by throwing chick peas, butter beans, peas, rosemary red pepper flakes, and spinach into a pureed soup.

Pureed Bean Soup:

1) saute 1 diced onion and 3 diced garlic cloves
2) add diced rosemary and red pepper flakes
3) add one can of drained chick peas and one can of white beans
4) add 2 or 3 cups of water or chicken or vegtable stock (water is just fine-you will never tell the difference)
5) simmer for a while
6) puree the soup ( I love any excuse to use my hand crank food mill but feel free to use a food processor as well)
7) add puree to pot, add frozen peas and baby spinach (swiss chard is nice too)
8) add a pat of butter, squirt of honey, a splash of balsamic vineger, salt and pepper to taste

garnish with freshly chopped scallions and grated parmeseam cheese.

Result: a perfectly pueree of silky goodness= bliss

Makes enough for 2 or 1 with leftovers.
