Looking for a quick, healthy dinner full of flavour? This chickpea soup ticks all the boxes. With its rich, spiced broth, creamy coconut undertones, and vibrant spinach, it’s a nourishing dish that’s perfect for any night of the week.
The magic lies in the blend of spices—curry, paprika, turmeric, and cinnamon—which create a warm and aromatic base. The onions are softened in oil with the spices to release their full flavour, before the chickpeas and stock are added to build the soup’s body.
For texture, only half of the chickpeas are blended, leaving the rest intact to add heartiness. A final stir of coconut cream adds velvety richness, and fresh spinach brings a pop of colour and nutrients.
Top it off with crunchy, golden sourdough croutons. Simply toss chunks of bread with oil and spices, then bake or air fry until crisp. These croutons are the perfect complement to the soup’s creamy texture.
This quick recipe is a high-fibre meal that feels indulgent yet light, proving that simple ingredients can deliver incredible flavour in just 20 minutes.
