Tomato and Chickpea Soup

This is great for summer (no actual cooking!), and uses up the lingering can of MMLocal tomatoes in my cabinet.

1 can tomatoes (25 oz) with juices (I used the MMLocal can with basil)
1 avacado
1/2 can chickpeas (or spouted, my new favorite thing, but must get rid of canned first)
few garlic cloves
handful basil
5-6 sundried tomatoes
few tblspns tomato paste (got some yummy imported stuff in a tube when I made paella, just squirted a bunch in)
juice of 1 lemon
optional – few diced hot peppers (also MMLocal, the hot variety, left over from chili-making)
1 tblsp honey
sea salt, pepper to taste

Blend all the above until smooth and creamy, garnish with basil.   Easy!
