Cover and simmer 15 minutes.

Notes: NOTES : This recipe calls for cooked pea beans or garbanzo beans (chickpeas). If you use chickpeas, begin soaking them 3 1/2 hours before you make the soup. After 2 soaking hours, cook them in boiling water for about 1 1/2 hours - until comfortably chewable.
If you use pea beans, you needn't soak them, but give them 1 1/2 -2 hours to cook. In either case, if you cook the beans in plenty of water, save the extra water to use as stock for the soup. You'll have a fuller-flavored, higher-proteined minestrone.
