Garbanzo Bean Soup

For the simplicity of this soup's preparation, it was a very decent soup. This soup takes relatively little effort beyond soaking the beans the night before. The flavor comes from an unlikely combination of green chili peppers, Worchestershire sauce, and and tomato paste. At the end, you added shell macaroni, and the final texture is a lovely combination of the smooth silky pasta and the more sturdy garbanzos.

Although I felt that this soup could stand having a bit more zip, my kids just cannot get enough of it. Family ratings were 5's from the kids, and 3's (good but not stunning) from the adults.
