A light, yet filling, dish that is perfect for Fall.
Craving something light yet filling? Our Crockpot Chickpea Veggie Soup will do the trick. Made with pure vegetables and fibrous, filling garbonzo beans, this soup is easy to make and can serve as a meal in itself.
All you have to do is allow the chickpeas to soak overnight. Drain them in the morning, toss all of the ingredients together into the crockpot, and allow them to simmer for eight to nine hours. It’s that easy! The potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery will soak in their own juices and absorb the rosemary, oregano, and bay leaves’ aromatic flavors. Once cooked, you’ll have a hearty soup ready and waiting. This chickpea and veggie soup recipe is sure to please.

Will this freeze well?
Yes, you can freeze this soup in an air tight container!
can you add frozen veggie soup mix instead of fresh veggies to put in the crockpot and use canned chickpeas
Tabby, Sure, that’s fine.
Hi. Thanks for nice recipe. I’m not much of a cook, so this was fun and easy to make. I noticed in the synopsis that it says thyme, but I didn’t see it in the recipe. Any thoughts? And…if thyme should be included, is it too late to add at the end? (Like I said, not much of a cook. Haha!) Thanks so much. T.
Actually thyme is optional, see notes. If you want to learn more about cooking stick around! 🙂
