One Pot Chicken & Chickpea Curry Soup

Three of my favorite ingredients come together in this one-pot dish: chicken, chickpeas, and curry! Continue reading to find out how quick and easy this meal is. 

The chilly temperatures have arrived way too soon here in New England – and I’m simmering soup pots on the stove like it’s my business! Testing and re-testing soup recipes is one of my favorite things, especially because my husband and I can live on soups all fall an winter long!

Today, I’m bringing you this Chicken, Chickpea, & Curry Soup that will make you want to curl up under a blanket – not only is it a hot soup, but the curry spices make it even warmer flavor wise. You can make this soup vegetarian by just using vegetable stock and excluding the chicken, as the chickpeas are a great source of protein already.

Another thing I’ve started loving is using coconut oil for all my cooking – I kept a jar next to my stovetop with a spoon in it and just use every time instead of vegetable or olive oil to sauté vegetables  – it’s those small changes that end up being great for our health. Give it a try this season!
