This is a simple, satisfying, and creamy vegan chickpea soup recipe packed with garlic flavor. It uses everyday ingredients and comes together quickly, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can) or unsweetened plant-based cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the rinsed chickpeas, vegetable broth, and diced potato to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it reaches your desired creaminess. For a very smooth soup, blend until completely smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend briefly.
  5. Stir in the coconut milk (or plant-based cream) and lemon juice. Heat gently for 2 minutes, but do not boil.
  6. Taste the soup and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This soup pairs well with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, roast half a can of chickpeas tossed with olive oil and spices until crispy, then use these as a topping instead of fresh parsley.
  • If you are looking for alternatives to traditional cooking methods, consider how a sous-vide precision cooker might offer consistent results for other recipes, though this soup is best made on the stovetop.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal planning; it stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
