Chickpea Veggie Soup

This healthy soup tastes like you slaved over a hot stove all day but comes together fast enough to eat any weeknight. Sweet potatoes, carrots and kale make this delicious. Using steel-cut oats as your grain of choice makes the soup thick and hearty, too!

I used unsweetened original almond milk and leeks instead of skim milk and onion (as our households does not like either) and it was delicious! Very glad to have found this recipe, thanks! :) - 12/3/11

Thanks for this recipe, it was really good, and so easy to make. I wasn't sure how much was a serving, so I only had a couple cups, but it was very filling. - 10/14/08

I am glad that you enjoyed it. I don't remember how much is in a serving. The next time I make it, I will measure it out. There are 6 of us in our family and I usually just divide it between us.

Not vegetarian. Kraft made Velveeta is not a vegetarian cheese. They use Animal Rennent. - 11/9/15
