Tomato Chickpea & Coconut Soup

vegan tomato chickpea coconut soup

This tomato, chickpea & coconut soup is an easy and healthy weeknight dinner that’s packed with flavours and on the table in 30 minutes. It’s plant-based, gluten-free and oil-free (but I promise, still full of flavours and topped with the yummiest cashew cream!).

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for frying (see notes for oil-free)
  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cans coconut milk (full fat)
  • 1 jar tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Cashew Cream

  • 3/4 cup roasted unsalted cashews
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Food processor or blender
  • Large pot

Instructions

  1. Chop an onion then fry in a pot on medium heat in olive oil (see notes for oil-free), stirring occasionally until translucent.
  2. Next, add spices (paprika, crushed garlic or garlic powder, salt, pepper), chickpeas (save a handful as toppings), diced tomatoes, coconut milk, tomato sauce and water. Cover and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Prepare cashew cream by letting cashews soak in boiling water for 5 minutes, then adding the cashews and water and rest of the cream ingredients to a blender or food processor.
  4. After the soup has simmered, remove from heat. Then, blend with a hand mixer or add to a food processor (be careful not to burn yourself!).
  5. Serve with cashew cream and top with a few chickpeas and parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

*For an oil-free version, fry onion in a few tbsp of vegetable stock or water.

*This tomato chickpea & coconut soup can also be prepared ahead of time and left in the crockpot for a few hours.
