Happy Meatless Monday! In keeping with my soup theme all month, Iย 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.
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.

Yes join us! It’s fun
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 didn’t miss the dairy at all. I really liked it hope you give it a try. Let me know what you think
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!

You won’t miss the dairy at all. It was really satisfying. Enjoy
This looks delicious! Can’t believe I never thought to blend chickpeas into a tomato soup, nice!

I love hummus too and chick peas are really versatile. Hope you check it out ๐
That looks so good! It would have been perfect with the grilled cheese I had for lunch today! I have been craving some risotto, I think that will be one of my future “Meatless Monday” recipes!

They are great together!
I’ve never thought about adding chickpeas to a soup to get that creamy feel without the actual cream. I’ve done that with potatoes but chickpeas seem like an even better option ๐

I love that this soup is dairy free because I love tomato soup. My favorite is tomato basil soup. Pinning the recipe.

I love suing beans to make soup creamy. And it adds the protein, which you know I love. This looks great!
Thanks so much! Glad you like it
I FRIGGIN LOVE CHICK PEAS!!!! Roasted and salted and rolling around in my mouth until… I CRUNCH! ha ha ha ha aha ha haa ha ha! I would throw some roasted ones in this smooth deliciousness! ๐

Good idea! They are so good aren’t they?!
Thanks for the recipe! I can’t wait to try it and see how the chickpeas alter the flavor of traditional tomato soup.
Thanks for stopping by! I didn’t think you could really taste the chick peas at all. They do give it a thicker creamier taste. Hope you enjoy
