Chickpea Tomato Soup
Crunchy chickpeas and savory tomatoes fuse together perfectly in this delicious (and totally vegan) chickpea tomato soup.
Ingredients
- 28 oz chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 28 oz tomato canned, diced
- 1 onion sweet, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
- 6 cups vegetable stock
- 2 tbsp basil fresh or freeze dried
- 2 tbsp cumin
- 2 tbsp oregano
- 1 tbsp agave syrup
- olive oil
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Rinse and pat dry the chickpeas. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread out half the chickpeas in a single layer.
- Drizzle chickpeas with olive oil. Sprinkle with curry powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast chickpeas in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Set aside.
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add onions and garlic, and cook for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
- Add the tomatoes, vegetable broth, basil, cumin, oregano and agave syrup. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
- Add the remaining chickpeas and cook for 5 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup to a slightly chunky puree. (If you don't have an immersion blender, you can work in batches with a regular kitchen blender. Be careful when handling hot soup!)
- Serve the soup topped with the crispy chickpeas!
