Have you tried this and is it good? I'm hoping it is good because I'm not crazy about chick peas but I think if I could get them in the right recipe, I could like them plus I have a can I need to use up.

I've used this several times and I love it http://www.healthdiscovery.net/ubb/smile.gif But I'm a big fan of chick peas too. I'm sure you could use another type of bean in place of the chick peas.

It's soup weather here and this sounds nice and warm. May not use the potatoes in it though.
