Directions:
Add to a large pot of boiling water the garbanzo beans, potatoes, ham, and pepperoni. Add the green pepper. The green pepper can be halved with seeds removed, or diced into small pieces. Add the onion. I grate or puree the onion. Add salt and pepper. Add 2-3 pinches of saffron. Saffron will turn the soup yellow. Simmer about 45 minutes.

Personal Notes:
The meat flavors will diminish some as it flavors the broth. The soup will be very thin and a nice yellow color. The potatoes also turn yellowish.
