Spinach-Artichoke-Tomato Soup
This recipe features the classic combination of spinach and artichokes (always a hit), along with diced tomatoes and chickpeas. This soup is definitely hearty enough to be a meal but also goes well with a vegetable side dish or a salad. You don't have to wait until autumn begins to enjoy a bowl of soup. It's perfect any time of the year.

Notes
- Eliminate the chickpeas for a vegetable-only soup.
- If you don’t have time to make your own vegetable broth, you can use a store-brought brand that’s Daniel Fast friendly. I recommend Kitchen Basics Unsalted Vegetable Stock.
