Deglaze the pot with 1 cup of vegetable stock, then add the remaining stock, vegetable puree, chickpeas and chutney. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat, discard the bay leaves and carefully mash the chickpeas until the mixture is thickened. Stir in the coconut milk, and gently reheat being careful not to boil the soup. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
