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 omitted the beans as non in the cupboard. Added celery, Worcester sauce and chilli flakes. It was great, really tasty.

    Lovely soup for the winter, I will definitely be making this soup again. Took note of the comments and added celery and some Worcester Sauce and had plain buttered rolls instead of the cheesy toast which I think would have been a better compliment. Next time I will try it with ingredients as per the recipe.

    Lovely appearance and consistency, very hearty and warming but lacking in flavour. Despite adding extra sugar, a dash of soy sauce, a pinch of salt and being generous with the parsley it still lacked the wow factor. In order to cook the carrots it also needed a longer cooking time than the recipe gave. Am I the only one that finds this a very common fault with soup recipes?!
