Blessed!!! (Tuscan Chickpea Soup)

I am so very blessed in my life..  I have great kids, an awesome granddaughter,  a job that pays my bills and it makes me smile... great work family and a love for cooking..  some days I just don't want to cook,  but there are days when I can't keep myself out of the kitchen..  the girls and I are slowly heading back into the vegetarian lifestyle..  it won't be pure vegetarian,  I am sure we will still have some meat,  but not as often.. 
Tonight I tried a new recipe..  it is very yummy and very filling..  :)

Tuscan Chickpea Soup

2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
8 cloves garlic, minced
4 c water
1 tsp fresh rosemary
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed(or a bag of dried beans cooked in the crockpot with salt and pepper and drained)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
grated parmesan cheese

In a large stockpot heat the oil over medium heat,  add the onion and cook for 5 minutes,  add the garlic and cook another 5 minutes,  add the water, rosemary, salt, pepper, chickpeas and tomatoes.   Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes..  can put through a food processor,  but I kept mine whole..  I like texture in my soup..  add the balsamic vinegar and stir well...  heat for a couple minutes,  serve in bowls with parmesan cheese, salad and crusty bread..
