3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 leeks (white and green parts), washed and thinly sliced
1 tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
1 tablespoons fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 15-ounce can USA chickpeas, drained and rinsed, or 2 cups boiled

6 cups chicken broth
1/3 lb. orzo or other small pasta (a scant 2/3 cup)

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan or soup pot. Add the garlic and leeks; sauté until garlic is golden brown. Reduce heat and simmer.
