    Moroccan Tomato & Chickpea Soup

    I started with tons of veggies, added chickpeas for plant-based protein, and finished with the most incredible spice blend to create this Moroccan Tomato Soup! It's spicy, comforting, and nourishing all at the same time and has become my new soup for sick days or times that call for a little extra comfort food.

    I'm telling you, this vegan Moroccan Tomato Soup is just right for wintertime. It's brothy and spicy and it will hug you make you sweat at the same time! If you are on the mend or just need to warm up from the inside this soup is the answer. I could honestly just drink this broth because the flavor is incredible and totally unique! Cozy up, put your favorite podcast on, and get ready to make your kitchen smell amazing with this easy soup recipe.

    Vegan Moroccan Soup Ingredients

    I know that typically, noodle soup is the answer to all ailments. Hear me out, though! This soup recipe is my new answer for to comfort and nourish me on days that call for something warm. Grab a tissue box (it will most definitely clear you out) and get ready to sweat! This Moroccan Tomato & Chickpea Soup will feel so good going down your throat. It is hands down my favorite nutritious easy vegan soup.  It is also simple to make.  The only chopping needed is for the onions, carrots and celery. I love keeping the leftovers on hand for lunches. One of my favorite things about soups is how they get a little better the day or two after you make it...the flavors continue to combine!

    Making Vegan Moroccan Soup

    Moroccan Spice Blend

    My husband surprised me with Moroccan cooking class lessons for our seventh wedding anniversary. There, I learned all about the most amazing spice blend that is used in Moroccan foods: Ras El Hanout.  Are you ready for this combo? I was blown away by how sweet, spicy and savory this blend was and immediately got so excited to use it in my own recipes.

    Health Benefits of Chickpeas

    As a vegan, chickpeas are one of my main sources of protein! They're versatile and inexpensive and I love using them in dozens of my favorite recipes. I always have several cans stocked in my pantry. Chickpeas add plant-based protein, dietary fiber and complex carbs.  They are also an excellent source of folic acid.  They will digest slowly (keeping you fuller longer) and are satisfying without making you feel stuffed. Plus, they offer a hearty texture that goes great in a soup!

    That being said you could also substitute them with lentils, rice, or other beans you have on hands. This recipe is definitely flexible in that respect.

    How to Make Moroccan Soup

    Dutch Oven Soup Recipe

    I used my Dutch Oven to make this soup. I love how heavy it is and I find it retains and distributes heat evenly, which makes it perfect for making soups! Dutch ovens are fantastic for recipes that need long, slow cooking times. The lid also lets me store my soup in the same container I cooked it in...less dishes! If you don't have a Dutch oven, any heavy pot will work great for making this soup recipe.

    Easy Moroccan Soup Recipe

    As always, this recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegan and allergy-friendly (no soy, nuts, dairy or eggs), as well as grain-free and sugar-free. I love creating plant-based meals that everyone can enjoy! If you make it, I hope you'll share it with me on Instagram.
