Ingredients

  • 2 cans cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed about 470 g after draining
  • 1 quart chicken or vegetable stock ~950 ml; use vegetable stock to keep it vegan
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped into medium cubes ~120 g
  • 1 medium onion, chopped into medium cubes ~110 g
  • 500 g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks about 3 medium
  • 1 can canned chopped tomatoes 400 g; sub passata or a can of whole tomatoes blended
  • tbsp oil enough for sautéing the onion
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp marjoram optional
  • ½ tsp salt more to taste; use ¼ tsp if your stock is salty
  • black pepper to taste, optional

Instructions

On the Stovetop

  • Soften the onion. Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
    1½ tbsp oil, 1 medium onion, chopped into medium cubes
  • Deglaze. Pour in a splash of the stock and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
    1 quart chicken or vegetable stock
  • Simmer the potatoes and carrots. Add the potatoes, carrots, the rest of the stock, paprika, and salt. Stir, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the potatoes are soft all the way through.
    500 g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, 2 medium carrots, chopped into medium cubes, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp salt
  • Add the chickpeas and tomatoes. Stir in the chickpeas and chopped tomatoes. Cook on low for about 10 minutes to let the flavors come together.
    2 cans cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed, 1 can canned chopped tomatoes
  • Season and finish. Stir in the marjoram, if using. Taste, then add salt and black pepper until it's where you want it.
    ½ tsp marjoram, black pepper
  • Serve.

In the Instant Pot

  • Heat the pot. Set the Instant Pot to sauté on high and let it preheat.
  • Soften the onion. Once it's warm, add the oil and onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
    1½ tbsp oil, 1 medium onion, chopped into medium cubes
  • Deglaze. Pour in a splash of the stock and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
    1 quart chicken or vegetable stock
  • Add the potatoes and carrots. Add the potatoes, carrots, the rest of the stock, paprika, and salt. Stir.
    2 medium carrots, chopped into medium cubes, 500 g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp salt
  • Add the tomatoes on top. Pour the chopped tomatoes over the top and don't stir — keeping them on top helps avoid a burn warning.
    1 can canned chopped tomatoes
  • Pressure cook. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, then let it natural release for 10 minutes.
  • Add the chickpeas. Open the pot, stir in the chickpeas, and sauté on high for 2 to 3 minutes to heat them through.
    2 cans cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • Season and finish. Stir in the marjoram, if using. Taste, then add salt and black pepper until it's where you want it.
    ½ tsp marjoram, black pepper
  • Serve.

Notes

  • Treat macros as rough estimates.
  • Use 1.5x the stock for 6 brothier portions instead of 4 hearty ones — taste and add a bit more salt to match the extra liquid.
