INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the olive oil and a generous spray of the cooking spray in a
large pot for 4 5 seconds. Stir in the onions and garlic, and saute
for 3 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. (You may have
to add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water to prevent the onions from burning.)
Stir in the carrots, sweet potato, chick-peas, and chicken broth.
Cover and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the carrots are
tender. Remove from heat and puree. Return to the pot, then stir in
the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Reheat just to the
boiling point, and serve immediately. Serve with a green salad and
some crusty breads. Freezes well. Prep time: 10 mins. Cook time: 40
minutes (mostly unattended). Yield: 6 cups. Per cup: 148 cals; 3.5 g
fat (2.2%). Exchange values: 1 vegetable; 1-1/2 bread; 1/2 fat. Fear
