XSLT - remove multiple nodes and add new node

This may be a simple xslt problem. I have xml like follows,

<doc>
    <chap>
        <p>This is a para</p>
    </chap>
</doc>

what I need is remove both <doc> and <chap> node and add node to the result three.

SO the output should be,

<new>
   <p>This is a para</p>
</new>

when I write a template to 

<xsl:template match="doc">
      <new><xsl:apply templates/></new>
   </template>

it adds <chap> to result tree.

when I write a template to <chap>

 <xsl:template match="chap">
      <new><xsl:apply templates/></new>
   </template>

it adds <doc> to result tree.

and I cannot suppress any element like <xsl:template match="chap"/>. as it removes child nodes as well.

How Can I get desired output using xsl?

Use <xsl:template match="doc"><xsl:apply-templates/><xsl:template>, then you can use your

<xsl:template match="chap">
      <new><xsl:apply templates/></new>
</template>

together with the identity transformation template you probably have too (although you haven't shown it).
