The temp has been dropping constantly over the past week and we are almost in the 20s…brrrr...the thought of going out makes me shudder! Nothing like sitting indoors, warm and cosy, curled up on the couch with a hot bowl of hearty, spicy, chunky soup. This one is sure to warm you up from within.
3 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, chopped
2 celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup chili powder (yeah, this is where the spice is!!)
1 tbsp Corriander powder
1 tbsp Cumin powder
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried crushed red pepper, optional
2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes with juices
1 (11.5 oz) can tomato juice
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
8 cups vegetable broth
2 (15 oz) cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 (15 oz) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup dried green lentils
2 zucchini, cubed
2 yellow squash, cubed
Salt to taste
This makes a whole lot of soup, so unless you have company or a large family, I would suggest halving the recipe.
Hey namratha,

Drrol, this is great for the weather here. When I was first read the qty of chllipowder I was like wooow..then saw that it was the local one
ReplyDeleteI was sure that the 1/2 c of chilli powder was a typo until I read your note. That must've been a protein-rich filling soup.
