Creamy Chickpea Noodle Soup

Creamy chickpea noodle soup is a vegan take on a cozy classic! This recipe requires a few simple ingredients that are transformed into a mouthwatering bowl of deliciousness. Although there's no chicken in this soup, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on any of the flavor. It is loaded with chickpeas, veggies and noodles of course!

Why You Should Make Creamy Chickpea Noodle Soup

• There is NOTHING better than a hot bowl of soup during the colder winter months. 
• Additionally, creamy chickpea noodle soup only takes about 30 minutes to make start to finish. 
• I can not stress enough how comforting this soup is!
• The spice combination of thyme and sage is one of the keys to making this so flavorful!

What's in This Recipe?

• Extra virgin olive oil
• Onion 
• Carrots
• Celery
• Spices - salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, sage and red pepper flakes.
• Light coconut milk - you can subsitute in full fat coconut milk it you want, however, I find light coconut milk to elicit enough creaminess
• Vegetable broth - you can make your own homemade vegetable broth or store bought.
• Garbanzo beans - AKA chickpeas! You can substitute other white beans in place if you don’t have garbanzo beans. I like using garbanzo beans for this soup since they don’t break apart as easily.
• Ditalini - or any small pasta.

How to Make Creamy Chickpea Noodle Soup

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high. When hot, add the diced onion, carrots, celery, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and sage.
2. Saute for 8-10 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
3.  Add the vegetable broth, garbanzo beans, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil.
4. Add the pasta and continue to boil for 8-10 minutes, or until pasta is done.
5. Turn off heat, garnish with more freshly ground black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve and enjoy!
