Directions
  • Finely chop onions and celery. Mince garlic.
  • Heat oil in heavy pan and add onions,
    celery, and savory. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft (about 5 minutes). Add
    garlic, stir to coat garlic with oil, and cook about 5 minutes, making sure that garlic doesn't
    brown. Reduce heat, if necessary.
  • Add garbanzos and broth, simmer 5 - 10 minutes to develop
    flavors. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Serve with wedges of lemon to
    squeeze over soup, or pass fresh lemon juice.
