Chickpeas & Kale Soup

Chickpeas and Kale soup are healthy with loads of proteins and vitamins in them. To make a quick version of the soup I have used canned chickpeas and tomatoes. If using pre-washed baby kale then just dump it and prepare this healthy soup. Use vegetable stock instead of water.

If you are looking for some creamy version in this soup then add light or thick coconut milk at the end. This makes your soup richer. If using coconut milk reduce the water/vegetable stock in the recipe.

Food for the thought

Relations can’t be understood by the language of money because some investments never give profit but they make rich.

When we are wrong and we surrender, it means we are HONEST, when we are in doubt and we surrender, it means we are WISE and when we are right and we surrender, it means we VALUE RELATIONSHIP.

Questions

Can I use dry bean instead of canned beans?

Absolutely. For time consumption I have used canned chickpeas. If using dried beans soak chickpeas overnight or for 8 hours. Pressure cook for one whistle and simmer for 15 minutes for perfect cooked chickpeas.

How to make homemade tomato puree?

Boil 4-5 tomatoes in water until the skin separates. Allow it to cool and grind to a puree. Filter it through the strainer.

What can I use instead of kale?

You can use spinach or any leafy vegetable for kale.

How to make a soup creamy?

To make it creamy, use coconut milk. If you are not vegan add grated cheese or cream on top.
