My mother’s chick pea soup is perfect for a cold winter evening and if you have canned chick peas it needn’t be planned far in advance as it takes less than 45 minutes from start to finish. The addition of homemade maltagliati makes it even more delectable.

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons</
