    They are freezer friendly and can also include in the meal prep.

    Garbanzo beans Ingredients

    Chickpeas - You may use either dried beans or canned beans. Using canned beans makes it really simple. If using dried ones you have to soak them overnight and cook them before you add them to the soup.

    Olive oil - Gives a nice flavor to the soup. You may also replace olive oil with avocado oil.

    Garlic - Use fresh garlic and they are important flavor building ingredients.

    Onion - Use red onions or white onions.

    Tomato - Use juicy red tomatoes.

    Liquid - Use vegetable broth for a flavorful soup or just liquid.

    Coconut milk - gives a yummy flavor to the soup so do not substitute.

    Tips & Variations

    • Use vegetable broth instead of water for a more flavorful soup.
    • Always use a low sodium vegetable broth or you may prepare your own homemade broth.
    • You may also add carrots and celery to the soup. They blend well with chickpeas.
    • I prefer sauteing the onions and tomatoes and then adding the chickpeas and liquid. This adds more flavor rather than a dump and go soup.
    • You may easily double or triple the recipe.If you do not have an Instant Pot you can cook them on the stovetop too.
    • Use a heavy bottomed pan and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 mins on low flame.
    • If you do not have an immersion blender you can also cool down the soup and then blend them in your blender.

    How to store Garbanzo Soup

    This easy chickpea soup stays good in the fridge for 3 days. To reheat them add them to the stovetop or microwave them.

    You can also freeze the soup for up to 2 months. To freeze the soup let the soup cool completely and then add and then freeze. While using you may thaw them for a while or defrost them in the microwave and use them.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve the creamy chickpea soup with an extra dose of parsley or cilantro. Goes well with some garlic bread or crusty bread. You may also top them with some croutons. I used my air fried roasted chickpeas.
