This Panera Bread 10 Vegetable Soup is comforting, spicy, and loaded with vegetables. It's easy to make in around thirty minutes, and I've made it gluten free! Bring on the comfort food.
1cupcooked brown rice (or any kind of rice or quinoa will do)
½cupfrozen corn
½cupfrozen peas
1can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
315 ozcans of fire roasted diced tomatoes, with juice
2cupsfresh baby spinach
lemon wheels for garnish
Instructions
Start by heating a dutch oven over medium-high heat and adding the olive oil. Once it is ready, add the garlic, onions, celery, carrot, poblano peppers, and red and yellow bell peppers. Saute these vegetables for about ten minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon.
Next, add the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried mustard, chili powder, dried basil, rosemary, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. I know it's a lot of spices, but it's worth it! Stir well and cook for a minute or two.
Add the tomato paste and stir well into spices, then add the vegetable stock tamari, rice vinegar, and fire-roasted tomatoes stirring with a wooden spoon.
Add the chickpeas, corn, peas, and brown rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer with the lid on for about 20 minutes. Remove lid and add the spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Serve immediately with a fresh lemon wheel and crusty bread.
