Method

  1. Put the vegetables into a large saucepan with the garlic, rosemary, stock and sugar. Season well, stir, bring to a simmer and cover. Cook gently for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.
  2. Preheat the grill to high. Whizz the tomatoes in a food processor or blender until smooth, then tip into the vegetables with the chickpeas and parsley. Gently heat through, stirring now and then.
  3. For the toasts: rub both sides of the bread with the garlic. Grill on one side until golden, turn the bread over, cover with edam and grill until it's bubbling. Serve at once with the piping hot soup.

    I thought this was really nice - I added about a tablespoon to give a more intensive flavor. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

    As well as adding celery I would put a tablespoon of worcester sauce in to give a soup an added kick

    I made this recipe and I didn't have any chickpeas so I used butter beans instead which worked just as well. I also added a little white pepper and hot chilli powder which gave it a little kick. I served it with Tomato and Olive bread instead of the cheese toasts as recommended. Also worth noting that if you are serving this as a main meal, you will probably struggle to feed 4. My boyfriend and I had it for dinner last night and I had the left-overs for lunch today, so only 3 servings for us.

    This soap is quick and easy to make. Excellent Mediterranean taste. One extra 400g of fresh chopped tomatoes make this recipe extra tasty for those tomato lovers and I used a sweet patato instead of an ordinary one.

    Made 7 litres of this, without the beans, for an RNLI fundraiser. It was delicious and went very quickly with loads of compliments. Will certainly do it again both for fundraising and personal use.
