A cozy, nourishing Creamy Garlic Chickpea Soup made with blended chickpeas, sautéed garlic, and vegetable broth for a naturally creamy, protein-rich vegan meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chickpeas and cook for 2–3 minutes to coat with flavor.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, then remove from heat.
  7. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth and creamy, leaving some texture if desired.
  8. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

  • Blend fully for a silky soup or partially for a chunkier texture.
  • Add extra broth if the soup becomes too thick.
  • Great served with crusty bread or pita.
