- melt 3 tbsp of olive oil margarine in a large saucepan (i bought this).
- add one onion (i have two purple onions) and four small cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp of thyme, one tbsp of basil and one tbsp of cayenne. i also put some (onion) salt and pepper in. i then let it cook on medium for a while.
- dump a can of chick peas in a large bowl (not a normal purchase, a food bank specialty)
- i don't have fancy bread, but i broke up two slices of brown bread that they gave me
- sprinkle some grated cheese on the bread (i'm using mozzarella, which i bought)
- i don't have wine. i do have tamarind soup mix, which they gave me. this is an asian thing. it's a fruit they eat with fish soup. i dumped it into a one quart mixing bowl with a bit of vinegar and stirred it up. it smells like wine.
- after the onions were brown, i dumped the tamarind soup and two beef soup cubes (which they gave me) into the pan and let it come to a boil before reducing heat.
- i let that simmer for about ten minutes to let it boil off a bit
- i then added the rest of the container of vegetable soup broth they gave me, which filled the pan up, and let it go for another ten minutes, until it was broiling.
- i put a tbsp of paprika, a tbsp of cumin and tbsp of hemp seeds (i bought these and put them on everything) in the bowl and dumped the soup in.
- i put the rest of the mozzarella on top of the soup
- i added some frank's and some more pepper. i would have added a tbsp of nutritional yeast but i'm out.
i am serving it with a side of avocado and orange for key vitamins.
and i'll let you know in a few minutes.
