Here is my second Slow Cooker recipe. The depth of flavor in this comforting soup comes soup comes from slow cooking. With simple ingredients, this Slow cooker chickpea sausage stew is perfect for a cozy winter night.

Some crusty bread on the sides will make a complete meal. I won't mind this stew with a bowl of steamed white rice though.

I have a few more chickpea curries on the site. While this Sweet Potato Chickpea recipe is cooked in an Instant Pot, I have done Chickpea Curry or Chana Aloo in a Dutch Oven and a Sweet Potato Chickpea Curry prepared in an Instant Pot.

How to make

On busy days like these, all you need is a quick, fuss-free recipe to cook. This Slow cooker Chickpea Sausage Stew is the perfect 'dump everything and forget it' kinda recipe. I had made this Soup just a day before leaving for my brother-in-law's ring ceremony. My home was a complete mess. The house help didn't turn up for a week. With all that extra workload, I had to complete a few recipe testing and shooting. I also had to clean up my refrigerator before leaving. Usually, when I run out of vegetables, I soak some beans for the next day.

With all the last-minute prep, I just dumped cooked chickpeas, leftover veggies, and some sausage. By the time I was done with my work I was dead tired. But the good thing was, I had my dinner ready.

Serve With

There was some leftover No-knead rustic bread, that I toasted. This stew is light and with delicate flavors. A bowl of this is surely going to give you comfort on a cold winter night.

**** You can cook on low for up to 8 hours. TO quicken the cooking process add warm stock.
