Black-eyed peas can replace the chickpeas, if desired. For a lighter soup, the rice can be omitted.

Cook's Tip:

To peel fresh tomatoes, bring a medium stockpot filled with water to a boil over high heat; drop in the tomatoes and boil 20 seconds. Drain and rinse under cold-running water. Peel off the skins.
