The autumn season has started showing its traces of tree leaves changing their colours, and falling leaves. Such a natural beauty everywhere! My son loves to play on those dry leaves. 🙂 🙂

I made this, Chickpeas and Sweet Potato soup few days back, for our weekend dinner. We all really liked this subtle curry flavoured Indian style soup. 

I intended this recipe to be plant based, hence I didn’t add any cream/dairy. Even then it turned out exactly how creamy I wanted it to be. So, better not late, give a go with my recipe!! 🙂

    Possible Alterations for the recipe, ‘Chickpeas and Sweet Potato Vegan Soup’:

    Using Canned / Tinned Chickpeas: In this case, the time for Instant Pot method would be just 3 mins. And for stove top add the chickpeas only at the end before switching the stove off.

    Alternative for fresh tomato: Canned Tomato puree (or) canned chopped tomatoes can be easily used.

    Other spices to add: I would like to add Ground Cumin Powder (2 teaspoons), Garam Masala Powder (1 tablespoon) and Amchur Powder / Dry Mango Powder (1 teaspoon). 

    Adding different herbs: You might add any of these>> Celery sticks (3), Dry Herbs Mix (1 teaspoon), Parsley, Kale.

    Using other beans: Yes, other beans like black eyed beans, red kidney beans, white beans, black beans, can be used in the same recipe. Just follow the below recipe as it is.

    To make the soup creamy: Just before switching off, add (½ cup) any one of these to make the soup creamy>>> heavy cream, evaporated milk, half & half, whipping cream, milk.

    Replacement for sweet potatoes: Can be replaced with same quantity of other vegetables like potatoes, carrots, white radish, turnips, red radish.

    Whole Foods Plant Based options: Simply eliminate the little oil used. Instead you might use veg broth.

    1. This is delicious. I added fresh garlic with the onion step and also added cayenne pepper along with the ground coriander and garlic powder. Delicious-i blended the whole soup but that was because I used black chickpeas which are a bit grittier.
