Hearty tomato soup with chickpeas for a satisfying, low-fat meal.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 5.00 gm ground cumin
  • 20.00 ml thyme leaves, chopped
  • 400g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 400g canned chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 6 slices ciabatta
  • 20.00 ml finely grated lemon rind
  • 62.50 ml finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Instructions:
  • In a large pan, warm 1 tablespoon of oil over low heat. Cook the onion until softened, then add garlic, cumin, and thyme, stirring for 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes and 1 cup (250ml) water, season to taste, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
  • Transfer half of the soup to a food processor and pulse a few times until slightly chunky. Add the blended soup back to the pan with chickpeas and simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Mix the gremolata ingredients together, and transfer half to a small bowl along with the remaining tablespoon of oil.
  • Toast bread in the oven for 2 minutes until lightly crisp, then spread with oil mixture. Return to the oven for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Top soup with remaining gremolata and serve with toasts.
