Ingredients

Servings
  • 200-225 g chickpea noodle if you're not gluten free, use your favourite noodle, type: cavatappi; or other gluten free noodle of choice
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 yellow onion small, diced
  • 2 celery diced stalks
  • 1 fennel bulb large, diced
  • 1 zucchini small, halved and chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp thyme dried
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 butter beans 14oz cans, drained and rinsed
  • 6-7 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf large or 2 small

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges
  • olive oil
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles to al dente (according to package directions), drain and set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, swirl or stir constantly until it is a deep brown and has a nutty aroma, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add onion, celery, fennel and stir, cook stirring occasionally until everything is softened and starting to turn golden, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Add zucchini and stir, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add garlic, cumin, thyme, salt and pepper.  Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Add butter beans, 6 cups chicken broth and bayleaf. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer, cook for 10-12 minutes with the lid mostly on, stir a few times. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired or add 1 more cup of broth if you prefer a brothier soup.
  7. To serve, add a scoop or two of cooked noodles to bowls and ladle the soup over. Garnish with feta cheese, a squeeze of lemon, olive oil and lots of black pepper.

Notes

  • This soup is very versatile! Swap the butter beans for canned chickpeas or another white bean. You could also add in a handful or two of greens like spinach or kale at the end.
