Chicken-Chickpea-Potato Soup

Teresa Ambra

2013 – Gluten Free Living

Chicken-Chickpea-Potato Soup has such wonderful flavor. It’s loaded with chicken, potatoes, chickpeas, carrots, onions, leeks, and celery, then seasoned with parsley, sage, and thyme along with salt and pepper. It’s not pureed completely smooth so it has a nice, partially chunky texture along with the creaminess from the meat and veggies that have been pureed. Not only that, this delicious soup is both dairy free and gluten free for those with food allergies.

I was looking for a dairy free recipe for company we are having tomorrow after church.  After making Chicken-Chickpea-Potato Soup yesterday I decided to make a double batch today so I could serve it to my guests tomorrow. One of the things I liked about this soup is it doesn’t overwhelm you with spices like cumin or chili powder.

I was looking for a pleasant tasting soup for lots of little children who don’t care for spicy foods so this recipe fit the bill. But just because it’s not spicy hot doesn’t mean it’s flavorless. On the contrary, it’s full of tasty, savory flavors that even kids can enjoy.

My inspiration for this delicious recipe is Tamara Leigh: The Kitchen Novelist. While Tamara is a best-selling novelist, she also has a blog with some A-M-A-Z-I-N-G recipes. I usually want to try everything she makes! Check out her blog sometime. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve fiddled with and changed the recipe by increasing and adding more spices and a few additional ingredients and I think you’ll enjoy the results.

If you’re looking for a healthy, low calorie, dairy free, and gluten free chowder-type soup consider trying out this amazing recipe sometime. Even your kids will enjoy this tasty recipe. It is a wonderfully delicious comfort food. This stick-to-your-ribs soup is great for cold winter nights. Add a side of corn bread or gluten free bread for a tasty gluten free meal.

When I initially posted this recipe in January 2013, I was still using an iPhone for a camera so my pictures were not very sharp. I remade the recipe in December 2015 but I was still very much underwhelmed by the pictures I was able to get. Since this recipe is so amazing, I decided to make it again for lunch with a friend (January 2017). I was a little happier with the results this time. Chicken-Chickpea-Potato Soup is a delicious recipe that’s incredibly delicious comfort food especially served with your favorite bread or rolls.

I used these ingredients. I cooked off two boneless chicken breasts the night before in a crockpot so I had plenty of homemade chicken broth.

  • 1 cup matchstick carrots or carrot chips

  2. Add thyme, marjoram, parsley, sage, chives, salt, black pepper and broth and cook on high for about 3 hours or until veggies are tender.
  3. Stir in rinsed and drained garbanzo beans (chickpeas), and heat through about 5 minutes.
  4. Using an immersion blender*, puree soup lightly (you’ll want to retain the texture of some whole veggies and chicken); stir in spinach to partially pureed soup mixture.

Notes
If you don’t have an immersion blender, puree half the soup in a regular blender (Careful! Soup is hot!), then stir pureed soup back into un-pureed soup.[br][br]If desired, you can leave the soup chunky and omit using an immersion blender.
