Spicy Cream of Garbanzo Soup and GIVEAWAY!!!!

The first time I had garbanzo beans,  it wasn’t in the form of hummus or as a salad topper in a mixture of beans…. it was in the delicious cream of garbanzo, a silky savory soup that has been visiting my mouth ever since.  I had to claim this soup as my own, I craved it to have a burst of tomato and a bit of spicy chile.  I knew the  creamy garbanzo would holds hands with the hot chile de arbol and swirl in perfect harmony.  This is my Garbanzo bean soup.  It has been hailed by my Mother as the best soup of all time…. I know you’re thinking “her mother”, but she’s a tough critic to please.  I think what she was most impressed with was the fact that I used Mazola Sobrecito bouillon packets.  She thought it was genius that they are made with sea salt and when added to water they leave no clumps in your food.  Okay, mom pleased, mission accomplished.
