I’m a total soup lover, I make soup for lunch every week!  I love that its super easy to meal prep, and I enjoy coming up with new ways to enjoy pantry staples like chickpeas, beans, rice, and pasta.  Chunky, hearty soups are my go-to but wanted to try something a little more creamy and this chickpea and carrot soup was born!

I love the French flavors in this soup- Herbes de Provence is one of my favorite spice blends (a mix of thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, and oregano) I use it in tons of recipes. Its the star of my Coconut Cream of Mushroom soup and our weeknight favorite Roasted Root Vegetables with Lemon Caper Vinaigrette.

This Carrot Chickpea Soup Recipe Is:

  • Rich
  • Hearty
  • Packed with Flavor
  • Made with whole, simple ingredients (and some pantry staples!)
  • Creamy and velvety
  • Filling until dinner
  • Vegan and Gluten-Free

Quick Cooking Soups Anytime

I’ve been cooking tons of pantry staple recipes lately, and have stocked way up on chickpeas.  They are an amazing source of plant protein and are packed with flavor.  I also love that canned chickpeas are so inexpensive, great to make soup recipes with anytime.

Pantry Chickpea Soup Recipes for the WIN!

As you can see from the ingredients list, this is a pretty simple recipe that requires a few pantry staple spices, chickpeas, and produce.  I always always always have a stash of carrots, onions, and garlic in our fridge.  No matter what I plan to make for the week, I always keep those 3 vegetables on hand.  They last a long time in the fridge, go great in almost any meal, and are inexpensive to buy in bulk. My list of 125 Top Vegan Pantry Staple Ingredients & Recipes has some great ideas to cook with what is in your cupboards.

Easy Chickpea Meal Prep Recipes

This carrot chickpea soup is the perfect recipe for healthy homemade meal prep.  I am a huge fan of meal prepping, batch cooking, and making recipes ahead.  I love the convenience of cooking once and being able to enjoy healthy homemade meals during the week when I don’t have time. There’s a whole section of TheHerbeevore.com dedicated to my favorite tried & true meal prep recipes.  With just a little planning and prep, you can have a week’s worth of recipes ready in the time it would take to make one portion.  Just batch cook, divide into individual containers, and place in the fridge or freezer for later!  I also made a list of my favorite meal prep products on Amazon that I use weekly. They make cooking easy peasy.

How Do I Make This Carrot and Chickpea Soup?

Stove Top Instructions

  1. In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over low heat.  Add the onion and sauté on low for 7 or 8 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
  2. Add the carrots, celery, canned chickpeas, bay leaves, Herbes De Provence, and Vegetable stock and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer the soup for 30 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through and the carrots soften.
  3. Remove bay leaves, and with an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is completely smooth.  If you don’t have an immersion blender, then puree small batches in a normal blender.
  4. Serve warm with a dollop of coconut milk, cashew cream, or Crème Fraiche and a sprinkle of fresh black tellicherry pepper.

Instant Pot Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except the coconut milk to your Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker, but used 1 cup of dried chickpeas instead of canned. Seal lid and cook on Pressure Cook or Manual mode for 40 minutes. 
  2. Quick release the steam, discard the bay leaves, and blend the soup.
  3. Serve warm with a dollop of coconut milk, cashew cream, or Crème Fraiche and a sprinkle of fresh black tellicherry pepper.

Dietary Modifications

While this soup is naturally vegan and gluten-free, you can easily make this oil free by substituting the olive oil for more vegetable stock.

If you aren’t vegan and you eat dairy, you can skip the coconut cream or cashew cream garnish and stir in crème fraiche or Greek yogurt.
