Garbanzo Soup

__NOTOC__
== Ingredients ==
* 2½ quart water
* 5 cloves garlic
* 3 fresh oregano sprigs
* 2 whole cloves
* 1 tbsp salt
* 1 tbsp ground cumin
* 1 tsp black pepper
* 3 bay leaves, broken
* 1 or 2 fresh basil sprigs
* 5 chicken bouillon cubes
* 1 frying chicken cut up
=== Vegetables ===
* juice of two limes
* 1 medium zucchini, chopped
* 1 yellow onion, chopped
* 2 stalks celery, chopped
* 1 carrot, chopped
* 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
* 1 can (17 ounces) garbanzo beans, drained
== Directions ==
# Bring the water to a boil, and then add all the stock ingredients, including the chicken.
# Skim the foam from the top as the soup simmers for 1 to 1½ hr.
# Remove the chicken, de-bone it and shred the meat when cool.
# Strain the stock and chill.
# This hardens the fat for easy removal.
# Remove fat from stock.
# Reheat and add the juice of two limes.
# Add all the vegetables except the beans and cook just until tender-crisp, about 20 minutes.
# Add the shredded chicken and garbanzo beans.
# Heat until chicken and beans are hot throughout.
