Description

My flavorful Chickpea Noodle Soup is packed with lots of veggies and protein. It’s a vegan version of the classic chicken noodle soup that we all crave when we’re sick. This plant based meal is super cozy and inviting and will warm you up, from the inside out. Chickpea noodle soup is the perfect lunch or dinner for a cold winter day. Serve with bread, crackers or salad.

2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Instructions

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Once oil is hot, add in the diced onion, carrot and celery. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and mix everything together. Cook veggies until softened, about 5 minutes. Next, add in the minced garlic, ginger and thyme and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add in the chickpeas, vegetable broth and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together well, place the lid on and let soup come to a boil. Once boiling, add in the dried pasta and let cook until the pasta is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Remove soup from the heat and stir in a small handful of chopped fresh parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Add any extra salt and pepper needed. Serve soup with crackers, bread or salad, if desired.

Notes

Make sure you’re using a good quality broth for this soup. I like to use concentrated vegan chicken broth that I just add water to. I like it because you can add extra concentrate if you want a stronger flavor for your soup.
