Tomato Chickpea Soup

As we roll into fall, I look more and more for easy to make soup ideas that I can freeze and heat up when I don't feel like cooking. While I love to cook, the reality is there isn't always enough time in the day. When that's the case, I like to have healthy options on hand so that I'm not tempted by a drive-thru. I like this soup because its only a few ingredients, and it doesn't take long to prepare. You probably already have most of the ingredients on hand too!

RECIPE: Tomato Chickpea Soup

3 vine ripened tomatoes or one pint of cherry tomatoes
