Chickpea Pot Pie Soup

This is such a yummy hearty recipe! I used whole wheat flour for the dumplings and they came out delicious. I was skeptical about using whole wheat flour not knowing how it would taste but I was pleasantly surprised. I will make it again!

Ooo thanks for the insight, Danielle! So happy that the soup was enjoyed 🤗✨

Wow! This soup is so good! Love the dumplings.

I loved it!!!!
Saved me from instant soups. So delicious!!!!

Skipped the dumplings this time and used green lentils instead of chickpeas... Delicious and so quick and easy! Looking fwd to trying it again with the dumplings!

Mmm thanks for the ideas, Pat!

Still a favourite soup in our home
Recipe is perfect
Flavour is perfect every time 😌

More water and fresh vegetables, and half of the dumpling for a better balance.

A real favourite among family and friends. I changed nothing, it was perfection.

Second PUL recipe made; after I added a LOT more seasonings it was very tasty. Only giving 3 stars because before alterations were made this was quite bland. I added: bay leaves, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic salt, and a lot of salt and pepper.
With these additions, I would give this a 4 as a solid veggie dumpling soup. My non-vegan husband didn’t enjoy it as much, but says he would eat it again. I will say this was a fairly inexpensive dinner, which I appreciate, and it came together very quickly.

I forgot, I also added additional dried thyme, some rosemary, and crushed fennel seed. Just in case anyone else likes a LOT of flavor like my household, I wanted to be sure to list everything added.
The recipe as-is is a decent base to start from 🙂

Hey Heather, thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with the recipe! In case it helps, sometimes there's variation from brand to brand for bouillon cubes. We use the ones we get from our local store here called Albert Heijn, it's their house brand, and sometimes we get a brand called Maggi 😊

Amazing and best comfort food after Christmas & new year
Great to get use any veggies leftover
We have made this twice now and it’s now favourite
Today I added parsnip & leek
Delicious

Soooo good. I added butter beans. I think it was a nice touch. We will definitely make this again.

This is absolutely delicious and wholesome. Just perfect for winter.

Perfect and packed with veggies. I loveeeee

Comforting and warm, simple to make too. A lot of customization potential with the topping as well.

Wonderful delicious soup, super creamy because of the dumplings, I think it's a really creative recipe, I would never have thought of putting the dough in the soup like that but it really works. Thank you for making me explore delicious healthy food.

Easy & delicious. I used dried thyme & dill (1/2 teaspoon each) instead of fresh. I scooped the dumplings off as soon as they were finished and will store them separately. Comfort in a bowl😋

Yayy so glad it was enjoyed, Cathy, thanks for taking the time to leave the review! 🙌

I was sure to dislike it... Well I loved it. I was sick, needed something warm, it was perfect.

Made this recipe tonight and my kids thought it tasted like Thanksgiving! We all loved it! We always love your recipes! So flavorful! Thank you (and your hubby) for all you do. You’ve made it easier for me to find healthy, delicious, and nutritious recipes quickly.

PUL Team - Oct. 31, 2024, 1:38 p.m.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Rachelle! We're thrilled to hear the recipe brought Thanksgiving vibes to your table. We're grateful to be part of your family’s kitchen 🥰

This was so easy and quick to make with simple ingredients. I used frozen corn because I didn't want to open a can and it still turned out perfectly. The dumplings were the best part, so fluffy and tasty. 😋 Thank you for an excellent recipe! I will be making it again for sure.

PUL Team - Sept. 16, 2024, 7:54 p.m.

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to leave the review, Terhi 🥰

Delicious and easy to make. Perfect for rainy days! 😋

Such a comforting meal! The soup turned out surprisingly creamy and my dumplings were nice and fluffy. It really has a similar taste profile to a chicken pot pie, which was quite nostalgic. I used dried herbs instead of fresh as I was feeling too lazy to go to the shop 😜

This was really simple to make, versatile (caused I used whatever veggies I had), and delicious 😋. I’ll be making it again!

WOW! This will be going in our regular dinner rotation! Incredibly delicious, comforting, and also it tastes so fresh with the thyme and dill. Perfect for when you're in the mood for soup but it's 100°F outside 😂.

PUL Team - Aug. 8, 2024, 5:35 a.m.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Reid! We're thrilled it’s become a regular favourite for you. The fresh thyme and dill do add a lovely touch, making it perfect even in the heat ☀️

A delicious and comforting dish! I love how it’s packed with vegetables and protein. The fresh herbs make all the difference in the flavor.

Love this! Quick, comforting and fulfilling! I really enjoyed this soup, and with easy-to-have ingredients, too!

Really tasty for such a simple recipe! I actually did enjoy it as leftovers - the texture was different as the dumplings absorbed more moisture, but flavors were richer next day.

So cool to try the dumpling method. Soup was good. It didn't have a lot of liquid, so thw dough stayed bready, hours later. Will try again.

PUL Team - April 2, 2024, 8:02 p.m.

Hi Nicole, so glad that you enjoyed trying the reicpe! Out of curiosity, did you scoop-measure the flour or weigh it? It could be that your dumplings had a bit more flour, making them a bit breadier. If your veggies are also really large, you could add an extra 1/2 cup of water to the soup base. In step 2, the pot should be covered, which helps to cook the veggies but keeps the moisture in the pot. Happy cooking 😊

Nicole Mostofa - April 4, 2024, 8:06 p.m.

I used a scoop measure. I really liked the texture of the dumplings. I have never had bread dumplings in soup like this before, so I am not sure what they are supposed to taste like. But I think I prefer the bready version, with only the bottom parts touching the soup getting a little moist.

Simple and delicious 💛

Wow. This was really good. I loved it so much. So cozy, and SO easy to prep and make. The flavors were spot on. I excluded the peas on accident but enjoyed it more that way! Highly recommend to make this at least once- especially if you're feeling under the weather or on a rainy day.

PUL Team - March 24, 2024, 8:12 p.m.

Woohoo! We're so happy to hear that the recipe was enjoyed, Connor. Love soup on cozy days 🥰

Amazing! Super simple but very delicious and filling.

Go make this…now. SO good! A bit of creaminess bc of the dumplings, hearty, comforting and absolutely delicious.

PUL Team - Jan. 13, 2024, 11:28 p.m.

Thanks for the glowing review, Meg - it means the world! 🥰

Full of flavour, veggies, and fun textures!

I really liked this recipe. Mine was thicker, it seems, than the picture but I did not mind at all!
I would like to experiment with some fresh herbs in the dumplings next time.🤷‍♀️. The dumplings were good. will make this again.

forgot rating.

PUL Team - Jan. 9, 2024, 10:31 p.m.

Hey there, Lori, thanks for taking the time to leave the review! It's so appreciated 😊

So creative with the drop dumpling topping and so good! Definitely a keeper, but next time I would make a few personal adjustments: more water/broth (ours didn’t turn out nearly as brothy as the photos look), more chickpeas, and fewer peas.

This soup is delicious and warming! I love the drop biscuits, as they add the perfect texture to the dish. We will definitely be making more of this soup this Winter.

This recipe is sooooo goood. I 1000% percent recommend everyone try this! It’s comforting and warm, perfect for winter time 😊

I made some slight changes just because this was what I had access too
I used a can of peas instead of frozen and it was still good. I also used veggie broth instead of cubes and water because I ran out of the boullian cubes

I made this to take to a dinner party, and it was enjoyed by all! I was worried the dumplings would dissolve in the fridge, but the leftovers would good the next day.

This is so delicious, comforting, and easy to make! The dumplings were like little pillows of goodness. Will definitely be making again.

PUL Team - Dec. 8, 2023, 7:28 a.m.

Little pillows of goodness is such a lovely way to describe it, Jessie! Thank you 🥰

Oh my yum! Delicious, especially on a cold winter day. We used all purpose gluten free flour (Bob's Red Mill) to make this GF. It held together great without any modifications, albeit the dumplings were a tiny bit slimy on the exterior. Otherwise, I think it's safe to say that this can be made gluten free!

PUL Team - Dec. 6, 2023, 1:50 a.m.

Thanks for the tip and insight on making it gluten-free, Carly! It's so appreciated. We'll add gluten-free flour blend as a substitution option for the all-purpose flour 😃

Easy and comforting ~ like a hug from the inside😅

Very very comforting. The recipe is very delicious and warming. Thank you!

It would be very helpful to know if there were any way to cut the amount of oil and change the kind of flour in the topping.

Thanks!

PUL Team - Dec. 1, 2023, 1:21 a.m.

Hey there, RM, we haven't tried with a different amount of oil or type of flour so we can't say with certainty. Perhaps someone else has though 😃 do let us know if you experiment as well 🤗

Carly - Dec. 5, 2023, 12:11 a.m.

Hi RM! We just tried this with Bob's Red Mill all purpose gluten free flour and it work great at a 1-1 ratio. The exterior of the dumplings were a touch "slimy," but the flavor and consistency held. As soon as you dug into them, it didn't matter! :)

Nomnomnom 💪🏻👍🏻

Delicious and so quick! Perfect for when you only have the basics in the house.

Easy to cook

Easy to make, veggifull, and delicious

Great!

This soup is so delicious and perfect for cold days! I’ve made it 2 times and my mom have made it our fav for Saturday nights. These recipes are so delicious. I’m planning oto transition to vegan eating for 2024.

PUL Team - Oct. 29, 2023, 12:20 a.m.

Oh we're so happy that the soup is being enjoyed, Carmen! It's definitely a comforting one 🥰 wishing you all the best on your journey with plants 🌱

Made this, I didn't have the corn but added extra peas. Reminds me of when my mom would get me chicken and dumpling soup when I was sick. Even my kids ate it, so this is a win for us.

I’ve tried many pot pie recipes since my husband stopped eating chicken and this is the first one he loved. Thank you!

PUL Team - Sept. 30, 2023, 12:06 a.m.

What a compliment, so glad it was a hit! Thanks so much Michelle!

This is one of my favourite recipes on the app! It’s so warming and nourishing and the dumplings are so tasty 😊.

Another winner !! It was so quick and delicious . Perfect for autumn . So happy to have dumplings back in my life . My recently- turned- vegan husband loved it . Thank you 😊

PUL Team - Sept. 12, 2023, 10:53 p.m.

Woohoo! So happy to hear, Helena, and wishing your husband all the best on his journey with plants 🌱

This recipe was so easy to make and came out delicious. Wholesome comforting meal which is definitely going to be part of my Meal plans 😊

Very tasty and very easy dinner, will definitely cook again. I roasted the corn in a pan before adding it to the pot, it was more aromatic 😊

PUL Team - Aug. 21, 2023, 4:38 a.m.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the soup, Marianne!

Great taste!

Wow, I love this soup! I've made something similar over the years, but I'll be turning to this recipe from now on. It's going to be a repeat dinner for us especially in the colder months when you need a hot bowl of soup to warm you up.

PUL Team - Aug. 2, 2023, 12:38 a.m.

Woohoo! We love the chickpea pot pie soup to help cozy up 🥰 thanks, Darcie!

Super good. Tasted just like the chicken pot pies i used to eat

Probably one of the best soups i’ve ever eaten!!!

I already had all the ingredients. Quick, easy and very tasty. The dumplings are a nice touch!

Quick to prep and delicious ☺️

Delicious! Hubby approves. It was easy to make and filling. Comfort food at its best. I will make this again!
I like adding a small kick of cayenne pepper and pepper flakes.

PUL Team - April 26, 2023, 12:23 a.m.

Woohoo! Sounds lovely, Natalie, thank you 🤗

We had to put together a quick dinner for company. This soup is perfect for that because the ingredients are typically in our fridge/cupboard. Everyone loved it and they were the best dumplings we’ve ever made. Dumplings were a hit for sure. Thanks for another yummy soup PUL!

PUL Team - March 5, 2023, 11:14 p.m.

So happy the soup was enjoyed, Patricia, thank you 😃

Loved this! Really quick to make too. My 2 year old daughter doesn’t like veg normally, but she asked for more!

PUL Team - Feb. 18, 2023, 5:17 p.m.

A huge compliment, Tara!
