CHICKPEA-BROCCOLI SOUP



Chickpea-broccoli soup image

Turn to this super simple vegetarian soup when you're looking for a quick dinner or make-ahead lunch item you can take to work. You can partner it with a garden salad to keep the meal light or accompany it with some cheese toast for dunking if you're looking for something a little heartier. We used regular canned tomatoes, but a flavored variety would work fine too. For a delicious variation, use cauliflower instead of the broccoli and cannellini beans instead of the chickpeas. Before adding the garlic to the saucepan, chop a small onion and cook it in the oil until softened, about 5 minutes.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head broccoli (12 ounces), trimmed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • Preheat oven to 450°F, with a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet on middle rack. Quarter broccoli lengthwise; cut larger pieces in half again (also lengthwise) to create long florets. Remove skillet from oven; swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add broccoli and turn to coat, then arrange so a flat side of each piece faces down; season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.

ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP



Root Vegetable Soup image

There's nothing better than a bowl of hot soup on a cold winters day, although, my DH will eat soup during a summers heat wave. I recently found this recipe in our local Sunday newspaper. I've yet to try it but it looks and sounds amazing. Having not made it as yet, it's difficult for me to list the exact prep and cook time, but I would say they're pretty accurate.
