Easy chickpea soup is the perfect quick recipe for those cold winter days. This healthy bean soup is also a great remedy for cold and flu season.

However, this easy soup is especially perfect for sick family members seeking homey comfort food. More often than not you gotta use whatever you’ve got in the pantry.
Pantry staples:
- Diced Tomatoes, plain, fire-roasted, diced tomato with diced chili peppers
- Vegan Broth, bouillon or pre-package
- Beans, chickpeas, garbanzo, kidney, black, cannellini
- Herbs, bay leaf, oregano, parsley, thyme, basil
Easy chickpea soup is effortless when you have a pantry stocked with versatile ingredients. Grabbing cans of diced tomatoes and chickpeas, I headed for the fridge. It was a little bare but I managed to find a few shallots, garlic cloves, and zucchini. Additionally, on to the herb shelf I had oregano and parsley…Tada!
The chickpeas enhance the flavor and texture, while also providing the benefits of added protein and fiber. In addition, the dried herbs and spices round out this delicious comfort food. Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed.
