chickpeas

🥗Healthier: white beans

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Stale bread works well for thickening and adds texture.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions and garlic, sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in diced bell peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

Add diced zucchini, carrots, and potatoes; simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.

Season with cumin, paprika, and salt to taste.

If making gazpacho, blend cooled soup until smooth and chill.

For a thicker texture, add stale bread and blend until incorporated.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Serve hot or cold, depending on the type of soup.
