Creamy Chickpea and Kale Soup

Chickpeas are a powerhouse of nutrients and this Creamy Coconut Chickpea and Kale Curry is delicious naturally gluten free and low carb. They are also know as Garbanzo. Serve this with brown rice you have a full protein meal for vegetarians and vegans
If you are new to chickpeas they have a nutty, battery and creamy flavour. You could snack on them without adding anything other than salt to taste and they are still delicious. This is my absolute favourite curry and I do add different veggies for texture and colour.
Did You Know?

Thank You Jason for your positive feedback. Let me know if you get around to making it.
I wanted to try Creamy Coconut Chickpea and Kale for a very long time, and I just found your recipe.
Thanks for this
I am glad I could help.
Hi! This is interesting recipe perhaps not only to vegan but to anyone.
At first, I thought it was an Indian recipe, (or is it?) because of the ingredients. I’m not into cooking so please bare with me. I love Garbanzos and we do have dishes that includes chickpeas as well, so for sure this recipe will be a good one. And to be honest I might gonna try it sometime.
I printed it, and I’ll let you know.
It is surely suitable for all. Yes it the recipe uses Indian spices but it is not Indian recipe. Thank you for your comment Mina stay safe and let me know if you get to try making it.
We are chick pea lovers in our home. Its a staple in South Asian diet and very close to home in African cuisine. I am looking forward to making this. Thank you, you are amazing😍
Thank you Godfrey. Let me know if you make it.
