    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 Vegan Roasted Tomato Soup.

    An Easy and Quick Cozy Meal

    My Vegan Roasted Tomato 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 this 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!

    Roasted Tomato Soup Nutrition

    Nutritionally this meal provides a nice serving of protein and carbs from the chickpeas and healthy fat from the coconut milk. After having a bowl of my Roasted Tomato Soup, I'm totally full (which I can't say I feel after having other soups).

      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!

        Thanks Kimmy! I love bulking up with chickpeas. I'm obsessed with them lately.

        It gets a little chilly in California. 🙂
