It’s still pretty cold out here and soup weather. This simple potato chickpea and veggie soup comes together very quickly, has an amazing flavor profile from thyme, oregano, fennel seeds and some pepper and cinnamon, and is hearty and pleasing. 

Water saute some onion and garlic, mix in the rest of the ingredients and pressure cook or cook in a saucepan. Fold in greens and done. Make it creamy or brothy as you prefer. For creamier, blend up a portion of the soup and mix in.  

This hearty Soup is easy, flavorful, delicious, and quick. Try it with beans and veggies of choice. See Stove top Saucepan instructions in Recipe note section below.

Notes

Variations: Use other cooked beans or lentils of choice. If using kale, add it with the potatoes. If using red lentils, use 1/3 cup dried. 
 
Saucepan: Follow steps 1 to 3 in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1.5 cups of water instead of 1 cup. Partially over and cook for 12 to 15 mins or until potatoes are tender. Add in the spinach and continue to simmer for 2 mins.  
 
**Note: Certain non dairy milks or brands tend to separate under pressure, so use all water or broth and add some cashew cream in the end or blend up a portion of the soup to make a creamy thick soup.
Or mix in 2 tsp flour into the milk and then add to the instant pot.

    Very good, I didn’t use my insta pot. I sauted the veggies and added everything else. A very satisfying, nutritious and easy dinner.

    i made this from the book, or started to. I ended up with a lot of chopped zucchini, so I increased the spices and added more coconut milk. Oh my it was seriously good. Do not skip the lemon juice.

  3. amy says:

    I made this recipe from the cookbook -followed exactly- and neither my husband nor I were fans of the spice blend, it seemed a little too random. If I made again, I’d leave out the cinnamon. Soy milk separated in the instant pot, which she does have a note about. After we stirred, it was a little better, but I’d use another plant-based milk that doesn’t separate, or add after cooking is done.

    1. Richa says:

      Yes change up the spice combination or use just Italian herbs. Cook in broth, then add cashew cream or other non dairy cream or sour cream when you open the lid. Mix and Bring to a boil

  4. Sue says:

    Delicious. Followed the exact recipe, using a mixture of pepper and mushrooms. I used more stock and less milk alternative. It came our perfect. Your recipes are getting me to experiment with spices. I loved the spice combination in this soup. Not normally a fennel fan, but it worked beautifully.

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      yum! don’t forget to rate!

    This was absolutely delicious! The unusual combination of herbs and spices (I ground the fennel seeds) produced a wonderful flavor. I used dried chick peas and cooked everything in the Instant Pot for 40 minutes – perfect! This recipe is definitely one I’ll make again and again.

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      yay!

    I didn’t follow the recipe exactly I use mostly what I had on hand. I I love the fact that I was looking for a chickpea and potato instant pot recipe and found one. So I started with sauteing 1onion, 3 garlic bulbs, added mushrooms maitake italian herbs and 1 bay leaf and 6 potatoes and 3 large carrots m, a green chili and sauteed. then better than bouillon vegetarian soup base then pressure cooked for 5 minutes as described in the recipe. I didn’t add any cream this time. But I’m eating it right now and I’m so delighted and thankful for your post. Good health to you and to all

      MAItake my language

  7. Becky says:

    Can this be doubled? If so, any changes to directions or ingredients?

    1. Richa says:

      Yes double everything except water, use 1/2 cup less water/liquid , time remains same

    This was lovely. Thank you! I used Better Than Bouillon roasted garlic base and broccoli as my veggie. I feel like the cashew creme at the end makes a world of difference.

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      thank you – I love cashew cream too

    This was the most flavorful veggie soup Iโ€™ve had! Loved that it was super easy to make in the pressure cooker. I used zucchini, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower for the veggies and coconut milk and vegetable broth for the soup.

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      yum – thanks for popping in โ™ก
