Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 carrot medium
  • 2 celery ribs
  • 4 oz. mushrooms (optional)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 15 oz. chickpeas canned
  • 5 oz. fusilli pasta
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. white miso
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2-3 Tbsp. parsley optional, but recommended, fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dice onion, carrot, and celery.
  2. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion, carrot, and celery for 6-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
  3. Meanwhile, dice mushrooms and mince garlic.
  4. When onion is translucent, add mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir and sauté for 4 minutes.
  5. Add broth and chickpeas (rinsed and drained). Bring to a light boil.
  6. Once boiling, add pasta and stir. Then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 10-12 minutes (or until your pasta is cooked through but not mushy).
  7. In a small bowl, whisk miso with 1/3 cup warm water until smooth. Add to soup at the end of cooking time. Stir in vinegar and chopped fresh parsley. Salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

  • *For gluten-free: Use your favorite GF noodles. I use brown rice fusilli pasta, but you can use elbow noodles, broken-up spaghetti noodles, shells, stars, etc.
  • Herbs: Use your own favorite herbs. Parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, Italian seasoning, and bay leaves (remove before serving) all work great.
