Nothing says cozy like a warm bowl of homemade soup – I am constantly trying out new and delicious soup recipes to make with pantry staple ingredients. This vegan chickpea noodle soup recipe was a winner, and so easy to make.
 
A hearty and satisfying high protein soup is ready in about 20 minutes, with common pantry ingredients. I used canned chickpeas, dried pasta (you can use a high protein pasta, if desired), vegetable broth, and spices that I always keep in my cupboards. It’s a great inexpensive soup too, a great clean-out-the-fridge recipe.

What’s In This Vegan Chickpea Noodle Soup Recipe?

  • Pasta: I used rotini pasta, but you can use any fun shaped pasta you prefer!
  • Sweet Onion
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Garlic
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • No Salt Added Chickpeas: You can use canned chickpeas (I’d highly recommend a low sodium or no salt version), or you can make your own chickpeas from scratch.
  • Low sodium vegetable stock
  • Thyme
  • Garlic Salt: for a little extra flavor than traditional salt.  I like to use this garlic salt in my savory Italian dishes for that extra kick.
  • Fresh Parsley

Cooking Pasta For Soups

For most of my recipes, I cook the pasta separately from the soup broth. If you add dried pasta directly to a hot soup, you run the risk of having the dried pasta soak up all the broth and overcook the noodles (turning it soup into a mushy mess). I’ve found that cooking the pasta separately, then serving the broth over the noodles in a bowl works best.

I allow the soup to cool, then add the cooked pasta after. That way you’ll have perfectly cooked pasta that holds it shape and a delicious brothy soup.

How Do I Make This Vegan  Chickpea Noodle Soup Recipe?

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside for later.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 5 or 6 minutes until the veggies become translucent.
  3. Add the carrots and celery and saute for 3 minutes more. Then add the chickpeas, vegetable stock, thyme, and garlic salt.  Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 25 minutes until veggies are fully cooked.
  4. Add the fresh parsley to the soup and stir. Taste, and add more seasoning as needed.
  5. To serve, add noodles to a bowl and ladle the hot soup over.  Wait until broth has fully cooked before adding pasta into the soup (to avoid overcooking).

    I used a yellow onion, because that’s what I had, and chickpea pasta. I left out the garlic salt, and added garlic powder instead. I sauteed the veggies in water in the instant pot, threw all the rest of the ingredients in, including the pasta, and set the timer for 10 minutes. (I’m lazy, and don’t like to wash more pans than I have to! ?) Good stuff! I will make it again!

Add in the onion (plus an extra pinch of sea salt) and saute for about 5 minutes. Then add in the carrots and celery and saute another 5 minutes.
