Ingredients In Vegan Chickpea and Rice Soup
See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Chickpeas: you can use either canned, or dried beans that you cook from scratch. If I use canned beans, I only use a no sodium added kind. That way, I can control the amount of sodium in the soup.
- Rice: I used a basmati rice for this, but you can use any variety you have on hand. Basmati rice is a long grain rice, and is our favorite ! We eat it in soups, stews, and curries.
- Olive oil
- Onion
- Garlic
- Carrots
- Celery
- Low Sodium Vegetable Stock – I like to use this low sodium vegetable stock for my recipes because it has great flavor… without all the salt. I always use low sodium or no-salt-added broth or stock to start, and then I can add salt or other spices later if needed. Check out more low sodium recipes here!
- Spices: thyme, garlic salt, and parsley
- Lemon juice: freshly squeezed!
