Using a Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp oil, mushrooms, and all spices. Stir well, cover and cook for about 5 minutes. If pot is dry, add a small amount of oil to mushrooms, add garlic and all chopped vegetables, stir, cover and cook for about 8 minutes.
Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and lentils. Stir together then add vegetable broth and vegetarian bouillon (if using).

Love love this video Linda! Sharing your personal victory over quitting smoking is such an inspiration. So proud of you my friend! And oh how I would love a bowl of that soup. ❤😊
Wow! This is awesome soup babe!!😊😊
I quit smoking in 2003. So, congrats!! Many people don't like the mouth feel of mushrooms, but don't mind the taste. Chopping them very small can make them edible to those folk. I have found that I prefer pureed soups–split pea, squash, carrot, cream of tomato, etc. And fruit soups in the summer–those cold soups are divine when it is 80+ degrees. Dill pickle soup is one exception!
I quit smoking in 2009. It was the best thing I did.
Now, this soup looks absolutely delicious. So easy to make and I am loving how you used so many vegetables. It's a dish for everyone. Thanks for sharing with us. ❤
Congrats on the quitting! Everyone has some kind of bad habit, no shame. That soup looks so good, love the vegetable combination

Hi Sis, Your soup looks delicious. The Mediterranean diet is so healthy. Thank you for sharing about quitting smoking. It is a difficult thing to quit bad habits. You are doing a wonderful choice using the Mediterranean diet.
Some of the spice bottles today have rather large holes, thus difficult to control amount when shaken. Lol! I like cooking my mushrooms like you did too. Gives alot of flavor. Keep up the great work my friend!❤😊🥰
I am so proud of you and so happy Liam can be your biggest motivation. You are doing amazing and we all love you! ❤️
