Ingredients

  • 28 oz can of diced tomatoes can also use canned whole tomatoes!
  • 8 oz can of tomato sauce
  • ½ cup chickpeas drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 tablespoon chopped basil

Instructions

  • Over medium high heat warm up a drizzle of olive oil. Toss in your ½ onion that is diced finely. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic to the onions and continute cooking an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add in the diced tomatos, tomato sauce, chickpeas, and chicken broth. Stir and let it come to a simmer.
  • Stir in oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes until the chickpeas become really soft. Give the broth a taste and see if it needs additional salt or pepper to your taste.
  • Once the chickpeas are nice and soft, use an immersion blender to make it creamy and smooth! If you don't have an immersion blender, very carefully use a high speed blender.
  • Once it is thoroughly blended, you can transfer it back into the pot.
  • When serving, place a couple of mozzarella balls on top & drizzle with balsamic glaze and finish off with shreds of basil.
