“Creamy” Chick Pea & Tomato Soup

01/19/2015 by Deborah Brooks

Happy Meatless Monday! In keeping with my soup theme all month, I  am bringing you another great Winter soup to keep you warm and satisfied. Please join Tina Muir and I as we link up all the best Meatless Monday recipes around.

Meatless Monday|vegetarian|link ups|healthy

This “Creamy” soup is actually dairy free & Gluten free. The creamy texture comes from the pureed chick peas. They also bump up the protein and vitamins. So grab a bowl and dig in! It’s a great way to hide the Chick Peas from those picky eaters too.

Meet Deborah

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

    Ohhh that sounds so good right now. For me, tomato soup is great comfort food, especially when its cold outside, reminds me of home! Love the addition of chickpeas to bulk it up! Great idea!

      It’s not overly tomato-y because of the chick peas. Maybe you will give it a try

    This looks delicious! We probably eat tomato soup and grilled cheese at least once a week in the winter! So, how does this taste being dairy free? I do like chick peas, but do they change the overall taste too much? I would love to try this, especially with it being so much healthier!

    I love when you can trick your tastebuds into thinking they’re eating something indulgent/creamy but it’s actually made with veggies or beans. Love it!
