I’m totally loving the idea of doing a series of September soups! This time of year makes me want to turn everything into a soup – it’s almost slow cooker weather :)

This soup sounds and looks delicious, however, what are garbanzo beans? Are they chic peas as we know them in Australia, they plonk like it. Looking forward to making this soup. Thanks

Sorry for the typo what I meant is that the garbanzo beans look like chick peas.
