Meat-Free Mondays - Tomato Chick Pea Soup
It may be spring, but it’s not warm or sunny here today, and I’m in the mood for some comfort food.
With the exception of a leek, I have everything I need for Dianne’s Tomato Chick Pea Soup already. Hopefully, I can convince my husband to pop by the grocery store on his way home.
According to Nutrition Data, a serving of chick peas (also called garbanzo beans) packs a whopping 15 grams of protein and 50% of your recommended daily intake of fiber.
I’m planning to enjoy my hearty soup with a slice of gluten-free bread and a small salad.

Mm… that sounds good! I think it’s time for me to dig out one of my summer/spring recipes… chickpeas with tomatoes and spinach in Middle Eastern spices with mint yogurt. I’ll have to try this, too!

Hope you enjoy the soup…If your weather is like ours then it’s most definitely a day for soup!
