Definitely a base soup. I made it for myself, and then made it for a party. I added kidney beans, white beans, brown sugar (the tomatoes were a little bitter to me), and vegetarian stock instead of the water. I left the party with an empty pot. I suggest making the soup your own, its one of those kitchen sink recipes where you can add what you like.

Like another reviewer stated - this recipe is a base recipe - but it does have alot of potential. I too added alot more garlic, a can of corn, a can of kidney beans, a can of tomato paste and more liquid. I used 2 tsp. cuin and 1 tsp. of corriander to give it some life and i sprinkled fresh cilanto on top.

I tried using fresh tomatoes and less water. I would defintely try the canned tomatoes next time because it tasted like tomatoe flavored water with garbanzo beans.

I love it. I replaced the bullion cube with 2 tbs of Minors Vegetarian Consonmme Prep (chicken style) from soupbase.com. Great flavour and enjoiable hot or cold. I will add another can of tomatoes next time.

For me, this recipe was missing something, but my husband enjoyed it. I even tried adding some cumin that one of the reviewers mentioned and added couscous that another reviewer suggested, but it still didn't do it for me. It was just okay!

I have to say three stars because although I used the basic recipe, I also added my own touches...I like to use less water, maybe 1 1/2 to 2 cups, I also added 28oz can crushed tomatoes instead of the diced, more garlic of course, and this goes really well with couscous, and chicken breast pieces fried separately in garlic...that way you can also make the meat eaters happy, and bump this up to a meal.

Bismillahir Rahman ir Rahim This was pretty good. I reduced the water to half and served over rice. Next time I would throw in some cumin, but this definitely was super-quick.

I was looking for a low-fat, quick and tasty soup and this fit the bill. I only used 1 t of olive oil and substituted 2 cans of chicken broth for the bullion. I think the fresh rosemary is what really makes this soup. 5 stars for ease of preparation and taste.

This recipe was quick and easy to make. I love chickpea's, but it just didn't quite fit in this tomato soup. Boyfriend didn't even touch it. I like to give recipes another try. I may try again in a few months.

I was so pleased with this quick find -- very simple and clean kind of recipe. I threw in 1/4 c star pasta to grab my kids' attention. With fresh parmegan or romano, it would be a lovely first course. I will keep this one close by to use again -- delicious. Thanks, Lizzie!
