Best Weight Watchers Chickpea Soup Recipes
CHICKPEA AND SPINACH STEW
Enjoy this meatless main dish on its own or make it into a more substantial meal by serving it alongside roasted sweet potatoes or spooned over whole wheat couscous or brown rice. Pairing the stew with a mixed greens salad would be a delicious option to increase your veggie intake for the day too. Here, we've used plain diced tomatoes, but feel free to experiment and use a seasoned variety of canned tomatoes like roasted garlic, fire roasted or bell pepper and onion for more robust flavor. Throw in a pinch of cayenne, crushed red pepper, or minced jalapeño to turn up the heat.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin and ginger; cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and their juice, and chickpeas; stir to combine and mash chickpeas slightly with a potato masher.
- Using tongs, toss in spinach and sprinkle mixture with water; cook, covered, until spinach is wilted, tossing mixture once half-way through, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, cilantro and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.

CHICKPEA-BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Cumin gives this bean-and-squash-based soup a nutty kick. The bold-flavored Parmesan cheese sprinkled over each serving adds a touch of richness. For a pop of color, garnish with chopped green onion or fresh flat-leaf parsley. If you start with a whole butternut squash, partially cook it so it will be easier to peel. Puncture the skin in several places with a knife and then microwave on high for 2 minutes. Or for a quicker alternative, purchase fresh cubed squash from your grocer's produce section. To make this a meal, serve over couscous or riced cauliflower or pair it with hearty spinach salad.

Steps:
- Coat a nonstick Dutch oven with cooking spray. Add onion and sauté; until onions are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chickpeas, squash, tomatoes, broth, cumin, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. (Note: Winter squash is easier to peel if partially cooked. Puncture the skin in several places with a knife and then microwave on high for 2 minutes.)
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until squash is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Spoon soup into 6 bowls and sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons of grated cheese. Yields about 1 1/3 cups per serving.

CHICKPEA SOUP
The secret to this cream-free soup's silky consistency is blending the chickpeas and broth in a blender or food processor before cooking. Because it takes less than 15 minutes to prepare, you can easily make the soup before you leave for work and pack one serving to take along with you. While the soup is simmering, poor boiling water into a thermos and let stand until the soup is done. Remove water from thermos and wipe dry. Pour soup into warm thermos-it should keep your soup warm for hours. For a tomato-flavored variation, add 1 cup drained petite diced tomatoes along with the chickpea mixture.
