Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion about 1 medium onion
  • 1 cup diced carrot about 2 medium carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery about 3 ribs celery
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 cups vegetable broth 2 L
  • 2 oz cans chickpeas drained, 425g cans
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 Tbsp thyme leaves
  • ½ to 1 tsp vegetable bouillon or 1 bouillon cube
  • 6 oz egg noodles about 3 cups, 168 g
  • ¼ cup chopped Italian parsley

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Flavor Base: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 cup diced yellow onion, 1 cup diced carrot, and 1 cup diced celery. Cook until onions are soft and a bit translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 4 cloves garlic (minced) and cook for 1 more minute.
  2. Fillings: Stir in 8 cups vegetable broth, 2 15-oz cans chickpeas, 2 bay leaves, 1 Tbsp thyme leaves, and ½ to 1 tsp vegetable bouillon (start with less and add more, to taste). Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes
  3. Noodles: Stir in 6 oz egg noodles, cover, and continue simmering for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, stir in ¼ cup chopped Italian parsley, and serve!

Notes

  • You can store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days (though the noodles will get soggier the longer they sit).
  • If you're prepping it in advance, I suggest cooking the noodles separately when you reheat the soup (it only takes a few extra minutes!).
  • For a vegan chickpea noodle soup, swap egg noodles for any short pasta (think fusilli, farfalline, or ditalini). Or, try chickpea pasta to add an extra protein punch!
