Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic, thyme, cumin, and smoked paprika (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in chickpeas and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until creamy, or transfer half to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
  5. Stir in plant-based milk and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Adjust thickness by adding more broth or milk.
  • For extra creaminess, blend all of the soup.
  • Add spinach or kale at the end for added greens.
  • Stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
