A bowl of warm soup does wonders, especially in winter. This creamy chickpea soup with coconut milk & Feta will provide you with protein, fiber, vitamins as well as minerals. All these nutrients are important for a healthy lifestyle.

Guys, I created this creamy chickpea soup recipe last week and I couldn’t get enough of it! I had it for lunch as well as dinner the same day!

And you know what? That day when I opened the jar of cooked garbanzo beans I was not planning on making anything special. I was just going to make a simple pureed chickpea soup with potatoes.

But then I saw Feta cheese in the fridge, and flat leaf parsley on the table. I knew they would go well together but I was after way more nutritious meal than this.

So I grabbed some mixed seeds we had in one of the cupboards as well as coconut milk and I was happy. It was time to cook this healthy vegetable soup.

How to make creamy chickpea soup

In a large pot, heat up olive oil. Meanwhile dice the onion. When you are done, throw it in the pot and sauté for 5 minutes. I usually cover the pot with lid and reduce the heat to low-medium.

Now you have time to open a jar of cooked garbanzo beans. Drain the water. I also rinse them under running water. Peel and dice potatoes. Wash parsley. You can chop it roughly but no need as it will be pureed later on.

Remove the lid and add the prepped vegetables & sweet paprika. Pour in vegetable broth and turn up the heat to high. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are ready. This may take 10–15 minutes, depending on the potato variety.

Now it’s time to puree your soup. After, pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and taste it.

Note: Depending on what vegetable broth you are using, the saltiness level may vary. That is why I prefer to season this soup at very end.

You can omit coconut milk, if you wish. However, the coconut milk gives it extra creamy texture as well as amazing flavor! It’s worth giving it a go.

Important: Don’t forget to finish off this creamy chickpea soup with crumbled Feta, loads of seeds and fresh parsley. Trust me – you’ll be in for a treat!

So what exactly is so special about this creamy chickpea soup you ask?

    This is delicious! I didn’t have normal potatos, so substituted with sweet potato. Substituted paprika for chilli and a small amount of curry powder! An amazing winter warmer, the coconut milk is the hero here!5 stars
