Chickpea Leek Parmesan Soup

Oh jamie oliver, we love you here in toronto too, come visit us won't you? haha. This is a great soup, it has more of a stew consistency actually, just with yummy healthy chickpeas, leeks & cheese!!

Steps

Trim , separate and rinse leeks.
Slice the leeks into fine shreds and place into soup pot along with the butter , garlic & thyme , stir , cover and let slowly cook until the leeks become softened slightly.
Add the chickpeas to the leeks with the chicken stock and potatoes.
Bring to a boil then simmer for about half and hour or until the potatoes are well cooked.
If the soup is to thick , thin it down with a little boiling water.
Break up the chickpeas & pieces of potato to thicken it slightly.
Season the soup with salt and pepper.
