Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Tbsp of Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 Tbsp of Tomato Paste
  • 3 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 tsp of Salt
  • 1 tsp of Sugar
  • 1 12 oz. can of Garbanzo Beans
  • 1 qt. of Vegetable Broth
  • 1 Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 11-12 Crimini Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 Zucchini Squash, sliced & quartered
  • 11-12 Grape Tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4th package of Spinach Linguine, broken in fourths

Instructions

  1. 1. In a large saucepan on medium heat, add the oil & let it heat for a minute. Add the onions & garlic. When the onions brown, add the tomatoes. Cook until the skin of the tomatoes begins to peel off & then add the mushrooms. Stir occasionally.
  2. 2. In a separate saucepan, boil water to cook the linguine. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water & add the linguine only when the water boils. Cook for 7 minutes. Drain & set aside.
  3. 3. Add garbanzo beans, sugar, salt, zucchini squash, & balsamic vinegar. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, & then add the vegetable broth.
  4. 4. Bring the soup to a slow boil & add the tomato paste. Make sure the paste is evenly distributed & dispersed in the soup. It’s easier when the soup is boiling.
  5. 5. Add the pasta to the soup after the zucchini squash is soft. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Salt &/or pepper to taste. Add a handful of arugula to each serving.
