Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 2–3 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Herbs & Spices

  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs mix
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Liquids

  • 1.5 litres vegetable stock

Main Ingredients

  • 1 x 400 g (14 oz) canned chickpeas
  • 200 g (7 oz) short pasta
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot such as a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery and sauté for 7-8 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the finely chopped garlic and Italian herbs mix. Cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld and the garlic to become fragrant, but not burnt.
  3. Add Stock and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add Chickpeas and Pasta: Stir in the canned chickpeas (with their liquid drained) and the short pasta. Continue to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente, tender yet with a slight bite.
  5. Finish and Serve: Stir in the fresh chopped parsley, season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot with your favorite crusty bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pasta.
  • To enhance flavor, homemade vegetable stock can be used.
  • Adjust pasta cooking time based on the package instructions and desired texture.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or spinach for extra nutrients.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
