Zucchini, leek and chickpea cream

But how rich is this cream of zucchini and how simple it is to prepare it. I leave you the photos of the step by step so that you can check it yourself. It has few ingredients: some zucchini, leek, cooked chickpeas ... not much else.

The chickpeas that I have used are the ones that I have left over from the Cooked that I prepared a couple of days ago, but you can safely use canned chickpeas.

This ingredient, chickpeas, gives our cream both texture and flavor. By the way, children like it a lot.
