This one-pot tomato and chickpea stew is easy to make and is a delicious and flavorful vegan stew. The tomatoes get blistered, and the chickpeas are a delicious addition to this perfectly flavored stew.

This vegan tomato and chickpea stew is Moroccan-inspired, though it's easy to make with spices you probably already have at home. And if not, it's easy to improvise and make it your own!

Anyone else tired of cooking? Long days, not much energy, don't want to do dishes? But still want something delicious and flavorful?

When I feel that way, I like to whip up this tomato and chickpea stew. It only uses one pot. Yes, one. Which means easy to make and minimal dishes.

And this tomato and chickpea stew recipe is so easy to make. And flavorful! The trick is the perfect combination of spices. Dried thyme and smoked paprika give the stew such a nice flavor and really take it to the next level.

And even better? This recipe is vegan! The chickpeas help give it the nice protein that will keep you full for hours, while the tomatoes add that nice vegetable that adds a lot of flavor!

If you're looking to make this vegan soup with more Moroccan flavors, you can add some preserved lemons or top with a charmoula.

Tips:

  • If you don't have chickpeas, you can always use white beans instead! They are a delicious substitution.
  • Let the soup simmer for at least 20 minutes to develop the flavors.
  • Serve the soup with fresh cilantro or parsley, and bread on the side if you want to soak up the delicious broth!

How to make the stew:

First, add the olive oil to a large pot. Let heat up for 30 seconds over medium heat, then add your cherry tomatoes.

Let cook and get blistered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until tomatoes are broken down.

Next, add your garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add your spices and drained chickpeas and stir to combine, then add the vegetable stock. Stir to combine, then heat to boiling.

Once stew starts boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes.

Plate and enjoy! Top with cilantro and parsley if desired, a squeeze of lime, and/or crusty bread.
