Roasted Tomato and Chickpea Soup

When the weather gets chilly, nothing warms me like a big bowl of soup. I dream of soup when I’m out in the cold.

I can picture myself on my couch all wrapped up in blankets sipping on some hot soup with my pups at my side. Nothing beats that kind of day.

I previously shared some soup recipes like my Colcannon Soup and Vegan Corn Chowder, but today I wanted to tell you about my new soup obsession  – my Roasted Tomato Chickpea Soup.

Roasted Tomato and Chickpea Soup

An Easy and Quick Cozy Meal

My Roasted Tomato and Chickpea Soup recipe came together out of necessity. It was cold and I needed some soup to warm me ASAP. Looking around, I found I had a can of chickpeas, roasted tomatoes and coconut milk on hand…but that was about it.

I figured the chickpeas would make the soup nice and thick. I’m so glad for my bare pantry that day because this has become one of my favorite soups!

I usually make a pot of this soup at least 1-2 times a month because it’s so easy and tasty. I can make it on a Sunday for dinner and then have leftovers to take to work for a few days. I serve it with some nice toasted bread and I’m all set!

Reasons why my Roasted Tomato and Chickpea Soup is one of my favorite recipes:

  • ready in about 20 minutes
  • healthy (good carbs, protein, fat)
  • great to take leftovers to work (like I share in my Vegan Meal Planning)
  • creamy without the cream
  • totally delicious!

    Nothing better than a cozy bowl of soup on a chilly day. And tomato is a classic that everyone loves. I love the spices you added ( hello turmeric – I’m obsessed!). Can’t wait to give this a try!

    I love chickpeas—I make a few soups with them too! They totally balance things out so that a bowl of soup can be the whole meal! Yum!

    I really enjoy tomato soup, but find it isn’t particularly filling. I love how you bulked it up with chickpeas. It would make it nice & filling. And warm and glorious for lunch on a cold day (I realize I have no right to talk about cold…). I am definitely giving this a try soon!

      Hi Beth, sorry about that – I updated the recipe to add in the coconut milk. I don’t know how I forgot that!

      No, I don’t taste any coconut in the soup. It doesn’t make it sweet or anything like that.

    How many would you say this recipe feeds? I want to make it for a bigger dinner sitting, and would like to know how to adapt the recipe for a larger company!

      Hi Sara! I would say it makes about 8 cups of soup. So I guess at least 8 but I’m not sure you’ll need a cup each if you’re having other courses. I hope your dinner party is wonderful!

      Hi Morri, I have never tried it but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work if you roast them yourself and it comes out to about the same amount of tomatoes as is in the can. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out. 🙂

    Have you tried freezing the extra soup? I was wondering how it would be defrosted. Thanks for a delicious looking dinner idea!

      Hi Victoria! Thank so much!
      I *think* I froze it before. I make it a lot so I can’t imagine that I haven’t, but I don’t want to tell you definitely. If I have, I’m pretty sure it was fine. It doesn’t have anything in it that might get weird when defrosted (like sometimes tofu or cashew cream can have texture changes). I hope you enjoy!

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have always been neutral to tomato soup, but this was the BEST tomato soup I’ve ever tasted and I will definitely be making it again

  9. […] ROASTED TOMATO CHICKPEA SOUP. Soups are an easy way to keep a meal light while also getting in extra veggies. This soup pairs roasted tomatoes with healthy fat from coconut milk and protein from chickpeas. I’ve actually been using this recipe for meal prep for years. Honestly, this is one of the few meals I hate finishing up at the end of the week. With most other recipes, I’m glad to be changing it up when my week ends. With this one, I’d love another large pot.
