I admit it. I love summer blockbuster movies. Can’t get enough of them. And this one is clearly going to be a hit. The story is pretty typical – earth is being attacked by a meteor covered with aliens and processed food. At first, the people of earth panic, and then come together and grow one big local garden to fight the meteor. YAWN! So typical, right? Wrong! The characters bring this one together! “Chickpeas and wheat berries?? What an unlikely and magical combination,” says the Washington Post. “Local basil really makes this one. I mean, there is no taste like it – I just can’t get enough,” says the New York Times. “While the war against processed foods is part of a liberal conspiracy, we can’t deny the glorious different textures and flavors in this soup,” writes the Wall Street Journal. Wow. In its own way, even the Wall Street Journal appreciates it – need I say more??

This so good I couldn’t wait for it to heat up. I started eating it cold from a wooden spoon straight out of the pot. Please bring it back soon!
This one was really good – a good mixture of chickpeas, wheatberries and herbs!
Delicious! I couldn’t wait til lunch. I ate it for breakfast! Please keep it in regular rotation.
Delicious!
Another amazing soup!
Loved the crunchiness of the wheat berries with the other textures; the suggestion of a bit of parmesan and basil was right on… Delicious- 5 spoons!
Both my husband and I loved it. I’d never tried wheat berries in soup before, great combination of tastes. 5 spoons
Love the wheat berries! delicious!!
Really flavorful and w/the chopped basil, as suggested — spectacular! Filling, but not heavy — a great appetizer or meal.
