This Soup is the ultimate comfort Food.On a cold night when you dont want to plan elaborate meals but still need something fulfilling,warm and comforting...this is it.I gave it the name "Falafel Soup" because it has all the ingredients of the lebanese dish Falafel..hence the name.

I was not able to find Fresh Pita in the grocery stores so I made Garlic Bread instead.Also If you don't find a can of Fire roasted tomatoes you can put some fresh tomatoes under the broiler and when the skin of the tomatoes burn take them out and put them in a Ziplock bag which makes it easier to remove the skin from tomatoes.Once they are cooled enough remove the skin and puree the tomatoes.They taste exactly same.
This goes to Usha for her event Healthy Inspirations and

Hi,
Your recipe sounds so interesting, can't wait to try it out. However would it possible if I make it in a soup maker, if so, can you please help me with what changes I can add.
