It’s getting cold outside in Minnesota, so the other night I was rummaging through my fridge and pantry trying to come up with a warm dish friends untertitel herunterladen. I did some searching on line and played around creating a recipe utilizing some ingredients that I had on hand.

Add the garlic and drained, rinsed garbanzo beans before stirring for about another minute. Add the broth, basil, and the pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about five minutes.
