This garbanzo bean soup is very nourishing and quite easy to prepare. It has a tomato based broth using tomato paste. This is one of the first dishes that I learned how to make when I stopped eating meat, over forty years ago. Back then I ate cheese sandwiches with lettuce and garlic powder everyday until I realized I needed to learn how to cook. This recipe is an adaptation from Anna Thomas’ Vegetarian Epicure. The book is still in print along with volume two. I love both volumes and still have them. Thanks Anna.
