    this Recipe

    There are days when I crave a big bowl of hearty soup, especially when it’s cold out. It’s the perfect cold weather comfort food.

    Not only is this soup delicious and healthy, it’s easy to make with minimal effort, all in one pot, packed with protein.

    The sun-dried tomatoes gives this soup an amazing robust flavor and it’s also layered with flavors like garlic, smoked paprika, and fresh herbs. If you’re like me and want a kick of heat, simply add red chili flakes or crushed chipotle peppers.

    Just before serving mix in handfuls of spinach and arugula for another layer of healthy.

    Enjoy the soup as prepared or serve it up over brown rice, pasta, quinoa or whatever you like for an extra boost of protein.

    I hope you give this recipe a try and customize it to your liking.

    Description

    Comforting and satisfying, filled with both sun-dried and crushed tomatoes with hearty chickpeas, perfect for warming you when it’s cold out.


    Ingredients

    1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil or more

    1 medium onion, diced

    3 stalks of celery, diced

    3 medium carrots, diced

    3 sprigs of thyme and oregano each, stemmed and chopped

    salt and pepper to taste

    3 cloves garlic, minced

    4 cups vegetable stock

    4 ounces of sun-dried tomatoes, about ½ cup

    1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes

    1 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

    1 teaspoon smoked paprika

    2 tablespoons tomato paste

    ¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

    7 oz. can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (optional)

    3 cups baby spinach/arugula salad mix


    Instructions

    Heat a large pot over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to the pot. Toss in the onions, celery and carrots and stir. Season with salt, pepper and fresh herbs.

    Add stock, sun-dried tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, chickpeas, smoked paprika, tomato paste and crushed peppers or flakes to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Cover and continue to cook until veggies are tender, about 15 minutes. Add more stock if the soup is too thick or dry.

    Taste and adjust flavor as needed.

    Remove from heat, stir in spinach and arugula, cover and allow greens to wilt.

    Serve soup with crusty bread alone or over a grain of your choice.

      This looks delicious. I bet the sundries tomatoes add a rich, moreish flavour to the classic tomato soup, while the chickpeas would introduce an interesting texture!

      I live with two vegetarians which is why I'm always on the lookout for new vegetarian meal options. We love soup too! Like, a lot of soup - it's so comforting and so hard to mess up too. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this. I am never without sun dried tomatoes or chickpeas!

      I am a fan of arugula and love it in soups. This sounds just perfect. I reminds me of a chunky minestrone, sans pasta. I can't wait to add this to some rice and top with parmigiano.
