Syn Free Creamy Moroccan Pumpkin and Chickpea Soup

A delicious Moroccan pumpkin soup with chickpeas which makes a great alternative to a typical pumpkin soup. Full of flavour and Syn free when following the Slimming World plan.

Pumpkin soup is a quintessential winter warmer and this Moroccan Pumpkin and Chickpea Soup is a new spin on the beloved classic.  This recipe can be made from everyday cupboard ingredients, you can easily whip this up for dinner at a moment’s notice.  I love to have a few tins of pumpkin in the cupboard for when I am in the mood for a delicious soup.

This healthy filling soup with a spicy kick is packed full of speed food, low in fat and only 165 Calories per serving (or Syn free if you don’t calorie count). 

WHY IS THIS THE BEST MOROCCAN PUMPKIN AND CHICKPEA SOUP?

• Full of flavour
• Quick and easy to make
• Delicious
• Colourful
• Low in fat
• Creamy
• Perfect for reheating

LOOKING TO TAKE SOUP TO WORK BUT DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO A MICROWAVE?

My dad actually recommended this product after he started his weight loss journey. He is obsessed with homemade soup (and his soup maker may I add..) and he was desperate to take soup to work. His work place doesn’t have access to a microwave, so he invested in this awesome soup thermos. It will keep food hot for up to 6 hours! Perfect for soup, porridge, curry etc.

IS THIS SOUP SUITABLE FOR FREEZING?

Yes, this recipe is perfect for batch cooking! Store in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Also keep in the fridge for up to 5 days before reheating in the microwave or on the hob until piping hot.
