Creamy Tomato Soup With Chickpeas

I’ve been making a lot of easy soups lately, not even a slow cooker required and most of them are ready in less than an hour.

But did I ever mention that tomato soup is my all time favorite? I make tomato basil soup all the time, but recently decided to try something different, like adding chickpeas to it. This helped to make the soup creamy, thick and extra delicious!

I’m all about eating seasonal and healthy food, but at this time of the year, I think it is the perfect tim to cheat and make a soup using canned tomatoes and chickpeas. Of course I  don’t do it all the time, but tomatoes are not in season right now and I made sure I did not sacrifice this soup’s flavor! I also added some coconut milk for creamier texture. The extra dose of protein from the chickpeas is always appreciated.

I can’t be happier because of the fact that my husband doesn’t like tomato soup! Yay! I usually double this recipe, just to have enough for myself.

Make some grilled cheese and enjoy a bowl of this light and flavorful soup.

  4. Your photography is getting more and more gorgeous! It’s getting warm here but I love to cook soup no matter what season it is. Sharing of course!

  5. I first had this soup in Modina Italy and it has been a favorite in our house! we add a small amount of homemade pasta to the soup..and it is a complete mail. BTW .. Tomato is one of my favorites too!!

  6. Would it be a good idea to add wine at the balsamic/sugar step? If so, would you replace some of the balsamic and sugar with wine? Just asking cause I love this recipe. Thanks!

    1. Honestly it all depends on what wine you add. I personally wouldn’t replace it, because I like balsamic, but yes, you can definitely swap it with sweeter wine. Let me know how it turns 🙂
