I think what I love the most about this healthy moroccan stew is that it’s mostly made of pantry staples! I even keep frozen kale on hand to add to soups, stews and pasta dishes. So I almost always have all the ingredients on hand.
Don’t be too shocked at the list of ingredients, if you read through you’ll find that you likely have most of the ingredients already (salt, pepper, olive oil, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, etc.)

How to Make Moroccan Chickpea Soup with Kale
It’s easy to meal prep this soup, and I do it all the time so I have healthy dinners ready and waiting!
Meal Prep Directions:
- Cook the soup as directed and cool completely.
- Portion out for single servings or family sized servings. Store in jars (for fridge storage) or freezer bags (for frozen)
- If freezing, lay flat so the soup freezes flat. This makes storage easier.
- To reheat single servings, add to a bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- To reheat family portions add to a sauce pot and bring to a boil.
- Will hold in the fridge for 4-5 days and in the freezer for 2 months.
How to Make Moroccan Chickpea Soup:
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat, and spray with olive oil.
- Add chopped onion and celery and cook until the onions soften (about 5 minutes).
- Mix in the garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Sprinkle the cinnamon, cumin, cayenne pepper and paprika over the veggies and stir together. Cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add crushed tomatoes, chickpeas, broth, salt and pepper. Stir together and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes.
- Remove soup from the heat, and use a potato masher to smash some of the chickpeas directly in the pot.
- Stir in kale, and lemon juice. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.
