(Sopa de Garbanzo, Papa, y Jitomate)
Category: Vegetable and Bean Soups
Only fresh ripe tomatoes provide the right flavor for this fine soup, so plan to make it when tomatoes are at their peak.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 medium white onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic (large), finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 large vine-ripened tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 cups canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 medium potatoes (12 ounces), peeled and finely diced
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans), canned or homemade
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1. Heat the oil in a large pot and cook the onion, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook until the juices reduce and the mixture is nearly dry, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the broth, potatoes, and chickpeas. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and salt. Adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
