My idea of a perfect winter weeknight includes cozying up to this healthy chunky chickpea soup. It's full of flavour, easy to make and with very simple ingredients but WOW result!
Raid your cupboards and I'll bet you'll find all the ingredients to make this...It's ready in less than 30 minutes yet tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.
Whenever I feel like I am going down with something, this healthy chunky chickpea soup is the first thing on my healing checklist. But it's good when you are well too!
How do you make healthy chunky chickpea soup?
It's really simple. Main ingredient is chickpeas. Dry chickpeas need to soak for several; if you don't have the time, or are just too tempted to try this soup tonight, go ahead and use tinned chickpeas. Next is pasta, I used whole wheat pasta which I cooked before adding it to the soup.
Then you need carrots, celery, vegetable stock, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. That is it! If you have some sprinkle nutritional yeast on top and freshly chopped up parsley.
