This vibrant summertime soup features a blended-tomato base that is full-bodied and bursting with fresh flavor. To get this easy soup on the table even faster, prepare the veggies ahead of time and keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to start cooking.

Ingredients

  • 3 lb. tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Maui
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 15-oz. can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered
  • ¼ cup unsalted raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted
  • 2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Working in batches, in a food processor or blender combine the first four ingredients (through garlic). Cover and process or blend until smooth.
  2. In a 4-qt. Dutch oven combine pureed vegetables, the chickpeas, and broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Top servings with quartered tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, and parsley.

Hi,

Website is great but one request for you – would it be possible to include the recipe ingredients in Kilograms/Grams rather that Pounds/Ounces/Cups?

Can I just use high quality Biance Dinapoli canned whole tomatoes and puree them? How many cans would I use as a substitute?

Right below the picture of the soap, you will see one of the options listed underneath, far right, to PRINT/SAVE recipe. Click on it. You will then be asked for your email. Enter email. On your screen, a printable recipe should pop up, allowing you to print the recipe. Hope that helps for all those asking.

Your recipe didn’t address the cornbread in the “instructions” portion. I am actually searching for a WFPB cornbread recipe.

There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to do this. I copy and paste the recipe to a Word document and print. Alternatively, you could use the print feature in your browser but you end up with everything, then.
