How to make this delectable Roasted Chickpeas Cream of Mushroom Soup

First mix chickpeas and spice mix in a bowl until they are well covered. Put these on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper. Bake for around 15 minutes at 410°F.

While the chickpeas are roasting, let’s make some soup. Heat a touch of oil (or vegetable broth for oil free cooking) in a casserole. Fry garlic and onions for 5 minutes.

Then add the mushrooms and all the other ingredients, and fry for another 5 minutes.  Reserve 1/4 of the mushrooms, transfer the rest to a blender. Blend until smooth.

Next and last: put the soup back into that pot and reheat. Add reserved mushrooms to that pot, cook for 3 minutes longer.

Divide into bowls, top finally with roasted chickpeas. Enjoy.

Note: I use vegetable bouillon but you can use broth of course. Just make sure it’s only the powder, without adding any liquid.

You might find it a bit surprising that we only need a small amount of coconut milk for that soup. It’s because mushrooms contain a lot of natural liquid, so there is no need for extras.

Trust me I tested that recipe a lot and I find it is just the right amount for the consistency.

This makes an insanely delicious diary free alternative which is awesome for lunch, dinner or even snack time. It will surely impress all guests if you serve this on a potluck or get togethers.

I would say it’s a big winner for date night as well. I mean this soup is made with super easy ingredients, that you might already have in your pantry.

But simply doesn’t mean boring or not exciting. This soup will leave everyone wanting for more. Because it’s just the flavor signature which is so impressive.

Such a dazzling soup for sure, and so easy to make with such approachable ingredients that are available all year long.

Eating soup is such a fun experience in many ways

Soups give us always the feeling of being home. There is something about them. It doesn’t only taste deliciously and is filling, we also get the special feeling that makes coming back for more.

In this Roasted Chickpeas Cream of Mushroom Soup you get a lot of benefits from the mushrooms.

They are high in selenium, vitamin A, and iron. For real a immune booster, full of antioxidants that will take care against free radicals during oxidation.

Another stellar component is coconut milk. Rich in fiber, vitamin C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6. Also high in minerals like iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.
