Sun-Dried Tomato and Chickpea Soup

[heart_this] · Jan 13, 2019 · 24 Comments

Sun-Dried Tomato and Chickpea Soup – Comforting and satisfying, filled with both sun-dried and crushed tomatoes with hearty chickpeas, perfect for warming you when it’s cold out. And it’s ready in 30 minutes or less.

There are days when I crave a big bowl of hearty soup, especially when it’s cold out. It’s the perfect cold weather comfort food.

Not only is this soup delicious and healthy, it’s easy to make with minimal effort, all in one pot, packed with protein.

The sun-dried tomatoes gives this soup an amazing robust flavor and it’s also layered with flavors like garlic, smoked paprika, and fresh herbs. If you’re like me and want a kick of heat, simply add red chili flakes or crushed chipotle peppers.

Just before serving mix in handfuls of spinach and arugula for another layer of healthy.

Enjoy the soup as prepared or serve it up over brown rice, pasta, quinoa or whatever you like for an extra boost of protein.

I hope you give this recipe a try and customize it to your liking.

Description

Comforting and satisfying, filled with both sun-dried and crushed tomatoes with hearty chickpeas, perfect for warming you when it’s cold out.


Scale

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil or more

1 medium onion, diced

3 stalks of celery, diced

3 medium carrots, diced

3 sprigs of thyme and oregano each, stemmed and chopped

salt and pepper to taste

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable stock

4 ounces of sun-dried tomatoes, about ½ cup

1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes

1 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 tablespoons tomato paste

¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

7 oz. can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (optional)

3 cups baby spinach/arugula salad mix


Instructions

Heat a large pot over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to the pot. Toss in the onions, celery and carrots and stir. Season with salt, pepper and fresh herbs.

Serve soup with crusty bread alone or over a grain of your choice.

    I always have chickpeas in the house. In fact, I have them on my grocery list right now. Such a great alternative to meat. This soup looks hearty and delicious.

    This looks delicious. I bet the sundries tomatoes add a rich, moreish flavour to the classic tomato soup, while the chickpeas would introduce an interesting texture!

    I live with two vegetarians which is why I’m always on the lookout for new vegetarian meal options. We love soup too! Like, a lot of soup – it’s so comforting and so hard to mess up too. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this. I am never without sun dried tomatoes or chickpeas!

    I love the addition of the pepper and the paprika in the soup. It has a beautiful smoke flavor and a little spice from the pepper. This is perfect for a cold weeknight dinner!

    I don’t cook with chickpeas very often but this sun dried tomato and chickpea soup sounds delicious. I really like the addition of chipotles in adobo sauce to give it a nice kick.

    I am a fan of arugula and love it in soups. This sounds just perfect. I reminds me of a chunky minestrone, sans pasta. I can’t wait to add this to some rice and top with parmigiano.
