Creamy Tuscan Chickpea Soup

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
