Chick-pea & red pepper soup

Here's a soup that requires both imported ingredients (doh!) and a blender (double doh!), but which is a really delicious treat. It was made for me and I don't have an exact recipe but here goes:
Puree 2 tins of chick-peas with enough water to make a creamy consitency.
Finely chop and fry an onion, a large Jalapeno-style red pepper and 2 chillies. Blend half the pepper/onion/chilli mix and add it to the chick-pea, then stir in the rest of the mix (for a bit of texture). Cook for a few minutes, adding salt/pepper if wanted. Just before removing from the heat, add the juice of a lemon. The chilli and lemon give it a lovely kick and lift.
