How to Make Chickpea Soup
I really wanted something satisfying and full of flavor that was easy to make. This chickpea spinach stew has been in my recipe rotation for years. It’s honestly one of my favorite soup recipes! I also love lentils. If you do to then you should definitely try these curried lentils, it’s another quick, easy, and inexpensive recipe that we love!
I make this chickpea spinach soup a few times month because it’s budget-friendly, healthy, and I can use up any leftover veggies without it feeling like we’re eating odds and ends.
Start by cooking the lentils in a separate pot and set them aside for later. Saute the onions, garlic, and seasonings in a large pan. Add the cooked lentils, chickpeas, vegetable broth, and water.
Then bring the chickpea soup to a boil and reduce the heat to a low simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the frozen spinach, coconut milk, and fresh lemon juice. Let it cook for 5 more minutes or until the spinach has defrosted. Use an immersion blender and pulse the soup a few times to thicken the broth.
