Recipe: Creamy Tuscan Chickpea Soup



Food & Wine Magazine, Sep 2025, p. 40
5 stars

This soup was DELICIOUS! We've made various soups like this, but this was different and extremely flavorful, I think due to the sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients: Italian sausage, chickpeas, lacinato kale, celery, yellow onion, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, chicken stock, heavy cream, extra-virgin olive oil, basil, Kosher salt

Tips/Notes:
  • Used plant-based (Beyond) Sausage. Next time, cook and keep separately as it got gummy in the soup when we ate leftovers.
  • Used more celery than called for
  • Used vegetable stock instead of chicken stock and less than called for (used some water)
  • Add Parmigiano-Reggiano on top next time so the cheese doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan
  • Added a little more cream
