Chickpea Curry Stew

Chickpea curry stew

Soup season is here and I’m ready to make all the soups. This chickpea curry stew is a bit magical to me. I love the aroma of bold spices like curry, fresh ginger, and garlic. Fall is a great time to get into the kitchen and try something new! Getting your protein source from chickpeas might be a different idea, however, they are full of protein among other things.

The other great thing about this chickpea curry stew is it’s very inexpensive to make! Organic chickpeas only run about a dollar per can and all the other ingredients in this soup are pretty cheap and healthy! I thought about calling this anti-inflammatory stew. This stew is full of anti-inflammatory ingredients and other ingredients that are awesome for detoxing!

Benefits of chickpea curry stew

  • Chickpeas are super healthy! They are full of fiber. Rich in B vitamins, zinc, and folate. They are also great for weight loss! Chickpeas are a great source of protein for vegetarians or vegans and they are very inexpensive!
  • Curry powder– Curry powder promotes good digestion helping regulate bowel movements and has antibacterial properties.  The turmeric in curry makes it highly anti-inflammatory and helps to even prevent tumor growth! It’s also great for energy, pain relief, and anti-aging!
  • Fresh ginger-Ginger also reduces inflammation, helps fight cancer, and strengthens the immune system. It also has other benefits like improves circulation, relieves gas, and fights infection.
  • Kale- This superfood is also anti-inflammatory! Kale can help boost the immune system, it’s high in fiber and rich with antioxidants! It also helps to activate detoxifying enzymes in the liver, and is packed full of vitamins and minerals!

I could go on about coconut milk, onion, garlic…. this chickpea curry stew is super healthy! It could be used as an anti-inflammatory detox soup! Not only is it super healthy and full of benefits, but it is absolutely delicious!

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 1 ½ inch chopped ginger root
  • 4 medium carrots sliced
  • 3 large cloves of garlic grated or minced
  • 2 cans chickpeas drained
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 ½ cups chopped kale I remove leaves from the stem
  • 1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (divided) or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pepper or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder optional ( I add for color and health benefits)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Garnish with fresh mint, fresh cilantro, or swirls of coconut cream.

Instructions

  • In a soup pot add olive oil and on medium-low heat saute onions, ginger, and carrots for about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle a ½ teaspoon of the salt and some pepper and stir well.
  • Add garlic and both cans of drained chickpeas and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the curry powder and turmeric over everything in the pot and stir.
  • Mix in the can of coconut milk and both cups of vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the cup and a half of chopped kale and mix well. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes smashing some of the chickpeas with the back of your mixing spoon to make it a little thicker. (As this simmers it will get thicker like a stew.)
  • Turn down to low and add pepper flakes if desired.
  • Garish with your favorite toppings like pepper flakes, mint, a little coconut cream, or Thai basil and serve.
  • I like to serve with jasmine rice!

    I’ve made this and shared this dozens of times over the last four years and it is ALWAYS a hit. I even won a soup contest with this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing!

    One change I like to make is to do half the amount of chickpeas and sub in a small head of cauliflower. It gets very tender and gives it an almost potato-like chunk to the mix.

    Love it!
