Tuscan Chickpea and Sun-dried Tomato Soup

This creamy soup, made with sun-dried tomatoes and our plump Chickpeas, is great for that first chilly fall night. It comes together quickly, then simmers for just 20 minutes. These recipes were created with our vegetarian friends in mind. However, we recommend reading each label to make sure every ingredient suits your dietary needs. Please also remember that product formulations can change, so if you ever have any questions, make sure to contact the product manufacturer!
