Quick Chickpea soup

It is most definitely soup weather! It is cold and wet and this soup is perfect for a very quick nutritious meal. We haven’t had the snow here like the South of the UK, but we had a smattering earlier in the week which was enough for the boys to make snowballs with!  😀 I don’t know how the snow normally is where you are, but generally we don’t get loads, and if we do, it’s all slushy within a few hours! Anyway, whether you have snow, ice, wind, rain, cold or a glimpse of weak sunshine, this soup is the perfect warming dish to make for a quick lunch or dinner!

If you think you can’t be bothered to cook, think again! This was on the table in less than ten minutes! So, you could: open the fridge and stare at the contents; get a packet of soup and boil the kettle, or make this delicious soup! 😀 You just need passata, tinned chickpeas, spices, seasoning and an easy cook grateable vegetable such as a courgette, carrot or savoy cabbage. That’s it! Yes, it really is that easy! 😀

Tips & Storage

• You can add any vegetables you like which are quick cook – try courgette, carrot, savoy cabbage, beansprouts, peppers.
• Add a bit of chilli powder or chilli flakes to make this a bit spicier.
• Serve with some fresh bread – or add a handful of croutons.
• Throw in some frozen veg if you want a more vegetable based soup – a cupful of peas, sweetcorn or even okra would work well.
• Store refrigerated for up to three days.
