Minestrone-reminiscent bean and tomato soup

[cimorene]

I tweaked a bean & tomato soup recipe to use slightly more Italian seasoning and the result was a bit like minestrone without the pasta, but super tasty:

1 portion of chickpeas
1 portion of black beans
1 container of tomato purée
about the same amount of water as the tomato

Simmered a while, then added a cube of chicken bouillon and seasoned with a small dash of basil, a large dash of oregano, a tiny pinch of cayenne, a pinch of garlic powder, and some onion powder (if I'd had onions fresh sauteed would be better, though).

Also thinking diced bits of potato and red pepper would've been a good addition. Could also add pasta, but it's fun to eat with hunks of bread dipped in it, in which case it doesn't really need the starch.
