This is a recipe that I picked up in Italy a few years ago. Being that I'm not a soup fan, I was somewhat hesitant... but this thick and hearty soup quickly won my praise. It will quickly become a favorite recipe!

  1. Combine the tomatoes, olive oil and 1 1/2 cans of the beans in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Puree the remaining 1/2 can of garbanzo beans using a blender or food processor, and stir into the saucepan. Place the sprigs of rosemary into the pan without breaking off the leaves. The sprigs will be removed before serving.

Very good soup. I added additional water, a chicken boullion cube, dried rosemary, carrots and minced garlic.

This is a very basic soup that's tasty but if you add some veggies it makes it great!!! I had a little bit of a lot of things I needed to use up, I added frozen spinach that was thawed, chopped red pepper, chopped onion, some small zucchinis and used a small swirly pasta. Made this for lunches for the rest of this week, but it was so good I ate the rest for dinner!

Despite the positive reviews, I found it bland and uninteresting. I used a clove of garlic (blended with the garbanzos), dried rosemary, and omitted the pasta as I didn’t have anything appropriate on hand. I don’t think any of these changes made an important difference. I’ll probably use the rest as a pasta sauce, maybe adding some olives, or something to give it a stronger flavor.
