Instructions: In a 3- to 4- quart saucepan, heat oil over medium high; saute the diced red onion until golden brown; about 5 minutes. Add the diced bell peppers and artichoke hearts; saute for another 3 minutes or until peppers begin to soften. Season with garlic, pepper and salt. Add the tomatoes; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, adding water to thin the soup if desired. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until heated through and mellow; 15 to 20 minutes. Serve at once.
