Chickpea Tomato Soup Ingredients

Pantry Items

My trick for the perfect Roasted Chickpea Tomato Soup is using a mix of fresh and canned ingredients to get a nice full-bodied flavor. You all know that I take a lot of shortcuts in recipes where I can, as time savers for those busy weeknight meals. While you can use dried chickpeas the soak time takes a lot of prior planning, so I recommend using canned as a time saver.

Chopped Fresh Items

Veggie Ingredients

My recipe starts on medium-high heat by sauteing the chopped onion, minced ginger, and garlic in 2 tbsp of olive oil for 3 minutes. Then add in your diced carrots, and saute’ for an additional 3 minutes.

Saute the Chickpeas

Finally, add in your drained chickpeas, and coat them with cumin, cinnamon, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes. Allow spices to lightly roast with the veggies for 2 minutes. This will give the seasonings an extra smoky quality. Stir in your tomato paste for 1 minute, then add diced tomatoes, sugar, and stock.

*Cooking Note- I like to let the tomato paste simmer for a minute to get the metallic can taste off of it, this was a cooking tip I learned a long time ago to give things a homemade flavor while using canned items. So, toast your spices & simmer the sauces to get rid of those pre-packaged flavors.

Adding the Spices

At this point, you will want to add any additional salt or pepper to your taste. Once your soup is completely warm it ready to serve. I like to garnish mine with fresh cilantro, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and homemade pita chips for dipping.

Making Homemade Pita Chips

To make my homemade pita chips seen above, I chip pita bread into quarters and coat them with olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder and Penzeys Seasoning. Then pop then into a 400-degree oven for 3-5 minutes or my Ninja Air Fryer on 390 degrees for 3-5 minutes.
