Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ onion (minced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 talk celery (chopped)
- 1 potato (chopped small)
- 2¼ cups chickpeas**
- 1 can tomatoes pelati (peeled tomatoes, nothing added) (14.4 oz or 356 grams)
- 3 cups water
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon basil
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- hot pepper flakes to taste
- 1½ cups cooked pasta (more or less)
**¾ cups of dried chickpeas (should equal 2¼ cups) soaked for 8 hours in cold water, then drained and rinsed.
Instructions
- In a large pot add olive oil, minced onion, garlic and celery, sautee on low/medium heat for 2 minutes or until clear.
- Then add potatoes, chickpeas, tomatoes, water and spices simmer on low/medium until tender and thickened (approximately 60 minutes).
- In the last 15 minutes cook the pasta in a separate pot until al dente then drain well, do not rinse (I prefer Orecchiette pasta in this soup).
- Remove half the cooked soup and blend until smooth, return to the pot, add the pasta and heat until hot. Serve with fresh grated parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- If using canned chickpeas, then drain and rinse, use 2 cups of water and cook for approximately 30 minutes, add more water if needed.
- Any leftover soup should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. It will keep for about 3-4 days.
- If you plan on freezing the soup, then freeze it in a freezer safe container. But be sure to freeze it without the addition of pasta. The pasta will get too mushy and it won’t be very tasty. It will keep for up to four months in the freezer.
