"I think this is my new favorite recipe!" A quote by my boyfriend after every meal we have, but I must say I have to agree with him on this one! There's nothing better than a hot bowl of soup on a cold and dreary day. Although it is spring time now, up here in the Northland it is still pretty cold so this chickpea noodle soup was a perfect way to warm up after a long walk outside!
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
-2 large carrots, chopped
-3 stalks celery, chopped
-1/2 medium size white onion, chopped
-1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
-6 cups vegetable broth (my favorite is made with Better than Bouillon)
-1 tsp garlic, minced (about 1 clove)
-2 tsp olive oil
-Italian seasoning, to taste
-Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Start by heating the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large kettle on the stove.
2. Add in the garlic, carrots, celery, onion, and seasonings and saute for about 5 minutes. Just enough to get a little color on the veggies.
3. Add in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat to medium and let the soup boil until the veggies are cooked through.
5. Add in the homemade pasta and chickpeas and bring back to a boil.
6. Boil the soup until the pasta is fully cooked.
7. Enjoy!
