…in the food blogging world.
I’ve neglected one of my favorite things: composing and cooking for you personally!
It’s been thus beautiful that hot summer season days and beach sunsets are getting my grocery shopping obsession a little bit off track. I simply can’t help but soak up sunlight and ocean every chance I get.
I’m also the lady who can never turn down breakfast time, which is why I’ve been brunching around LA a lot. Brunching all night is wonderful for the soul. And quite delicious too! Refreshing squeezed orange juice, dirty chai tea lattes (a must-try!), gorgeous deep-fried egg-avocado sandwiches, acai bowls, blueberry buttermilk muffins; these exact things make me overjoyed.
I mean, you merely know it has been an excellent weekend when you can go to brunch and chow down on chocolates chip pancakes larger than that person. Double points if you are eating to remedy a headache. Come on and have fun… you know it’s true.
It’s unfair that we can’t eat france fries and pancakes all the time, but with incredibly great tasting vegan soups like this I don’t even miss them. That’s just a rest; I actually Like french fries on a regular basis (especially with these homemade dipping sauces )!
Even so this soup still is exceptionally great. The elements make an ideal combination of special and savory. It simply reminds me of all things summer. Garlic! Onion! Carrots! Chickpeas! Tomatoes! Sweet Potatoes! Cumin! Refreshing Basil!
I felt extremely satisfied after finishing off a dish. Actually, I even informed myself that it canceled out everything weekend eating and margarita downing. I only wish that were true.
This soup was inspired by way of a recipe for tomato-chickpea soup in one of my favorite new vegetarian cookbooks, Herbivoracious A couple weeks ago, I attended a book signing and cooking demonstration by Michael Natkin, writer of the cookbook and blog Herbivoracious The book if Filled with gorgeous vegetarian photos. I can’t wait to try out more quality recipes; some are also vegan and/or gluten-free as well!
Michael sampled delicious stuffed polenta (a formula in his publication) at the function, signed my cookbook, and also told me he LOVED my blog page name! Awwww.
One last thing. I’m excited to announce that I’m going to be giving away this cookbook to one of my visitors!
Ingredients
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 orange pepper, diced
2 large carrots, diced
1-(16 oz. can) chickpeas
2 cups vegetarian broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
sodium and pepper for seasoning
fresh chopped basil, for garnish
1 sliced avocado, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a moderate container over medium-high temperature. Add the onion, garlic, and sodium; saute for 2 minute. Add the diced orange pepper and carrots towards the pot and saute for 5 minutes.
Add the entire can of tomatoes towards the pot. Next add the chickpeas, vegetarian broth, cumin, basil, reddish colored pepper flakes, cinnamon, and sodium. Bring to a simmer; decrease the warmth to medium, add diced lovely potatoes. Cover and simmer for ten minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Flavor and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Adding things like quinoa, chicken, pork, or turkey would get this to dish higher in protein
Feel free to add parsley or cilantro rather than basil
You can use fresh tomatoes if you prefer.
This soup looks absolutely amazing…I cannot wait to make it!!
The best brunch spot at this time, because I am living in this area, is Jensen’s in downtown Burnsville, MN. Each and every time I proceed there I order the smoked salmon scramble.
This appears delicious! Such an awesome method to pack plenty of vegetables into your diet.
Could it be cheating if I say my favorite brunch place is my very own kitchen? Breakfast is my favorite meal to make, and I create a mean quiche
So jealous of all your brunches! I’m often too lazy come sat. morning to move myself out of bed Those choc chip pancakes are some significant motivation though…!
You soup looks great tasting! Specifically with the avocado, I’m still not totally vegetarian but I am trying to incorporate it a lot more into my meals, I’d LOVE a plate of that soup, all my favorite tastes!
Have a great weekend Monique!!
