Simple pantry staples come together to make this Vegan Tuscan Chickpea Soup. An aromatic and robust soup is packed with healthy vegetables and hearty chickpeas and uses only vegan-friendly ingredients. It’s filling yet isn’t heavy and can be ready and on the table in 40 minutes or less, which makes it perfect for a weeknight dinner.
To make the soup, start with a mirepoix. I use a traditional mix of onion, carrots, and celery, plus some garlic and fresh rosemary leaves. Once the veggies are soft and fragrant, add in the tomato passata, vegetable stock, and chickpeas and bring the soup to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes, then stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted. Meanwhile, infuse olive oil with fresh rosemary in a small saucepan. Use this fragrant oil to drizzle over the soup just before serving. Serve in warmed bowls with shaved vegan cheese, if you wish, and enjoy!
To make the Vegan Tuscan Chickpea Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add ½ diced onion, 1 diced carrot, 1 diced celery stalk, and chopped rosemary leaves. Sauté over low heat for 8 minutes.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds.
Add in ½ cup tomato passata, 4 cups vegetable stock, and drained chickpeas and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 sprigs rosemary in a small saucepan. Gently cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
Add 2 cups spinach to the soup and cook for a few minutes until just wilted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Divide the soup among bowls and drizzle the rosemary-infused olive oil over. Top with shaved vegan cheese, if you wish, and serve.
