Add tomatoes, celery, carrots, lemon juice and spices, and cook until vegetables are almost tender, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add bell peppers and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Mix in bulgar, garbanzo beans and 2 cups (500 ml) tomato juice. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally (add remaining tomato liquid if necessary). Serves 4.
