Tomato Chickpea Soup (vegan)

 

This started as one of my experiments and turned out really good. You can use whatever vegetables on hand and make up your own spices. I'll put down what I did, but the sky is the limit with this one.  I made mine spicy - of course!

You will need:

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 red or yellow pepper, chopped
• 6 or 8 mushrooms, sliced
• 6 baby bok choy, cut up
• 1 jalapeno, chopped
• 1/2 tsp. chili flakes
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp. oregano
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
•  1 tbsp. southwestern seasoning
• 1 tsp. chipolte seasoning
• 1 can of chick peas, drained and rinsed
•  1 can tomato sauce
• 4 cups of vegetable stock
• Vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper

In vegetable oil saute onion, garlic, chili flakes, jalapeno and red or yellow pepper.   Add in spices until mixture become fragrant. Add stock, tomato sauce, chick peas, mushrooms and bok choy.

Bring to a boil and reduce heat.  Simmer for 30 minutes.  Season with salt an pepper to taste.
