It’s not only a great source of protein and nutrients, but it’s also incredibly easy to make using an Instant Pot. With simple ingredients that you can get from any grocery store, this hearty garbanzo bean soup is a great way to deal with dinner options during busy weeknights. I agree to be sent email.
Even if you do not have an Instant Pot, you can still prepare this delicious soup over the stove top or with a slow cooker. As with most of my soup recipes, my kids were instantly hooked on this recipe. The next time you have some home-cooked chickpeas, try this healthy soup and watch the magic!
Ingredients
Garbanzo beans or canned garbanzo beans Olive oil Onion, chopped Cloves garlic, minced Carrots, peeled and diced Celery stalks, chopped Tomato paste Bay leaf Spices
Instructions
Stovetop Method
You can also make this soup using a stovetop. Follow the same steps, but instead of pressure cooking, cook it in a large pot or Dutch oven for 20-25 minutes on medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Add the chopped onion and chopped garlic. Sauté the ingredients until the onions become translucent. Add turmeric powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, dried rosemary, and cumin powder. Give a nice stir. Close the lid and press pressure cook for 6 minutes. Serve hot with a nice crusty bread, or enjoy it as it is.
Variations
This soup can be customized to suit your taste and preferences.
You can add more vegetables like potatoes, green pepper, or spinach. If you are not a fan of garbanzo beans, try other substitutes that have similar protein content, like black beans or navy beans (white beans). Be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. You can also add some pasta or rice to make it heartier. For added flavor, you can top it off with some herbs like fresh cilantro or fresh parsley. If you use dried chickpeas, use 1 cup instead of one can of beans. Cook the garbanzo beans separately in a pressure cooker before adding them to the soup.
Storage
You can store the leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave until warm.
