PREPARATION OF THE PUREED SOUP

1. Take the chickpeas and add oil, salt and 250 ml of the water from their tin.
2. Put them in a saucepan, bring to a boil and add rosemary.
3. Use a hand blender to mix, until a soft cream is obtained. In case it is too compact, add water and put back on the stove.
4. Drain the peas and sauté in the pan in olive oil, chopped onion, salt and pepper. Next grate grind of 1 lemon (only the yellow part).
5. Blend the mixture, aiming to obtain a smooth cream. Place in a bottle and aim to create little splashes on the pureed soup.
