Vegan Chickpea and Stars Soup
Stay warm and satisfied with a bowl of Vegan Chickpea and Stars Soup. Simple to make and kid approved!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ small onion, diced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups vegetable stock
- 2 ½ cups cooked chickpeas
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- ½ tsp thyme
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon basil
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 6oz pasta. I used star pastina.
Instructions
- Heat in oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic for 5 minutes and add carrots and celery. Continue to cook, stirring often until vegetables have softened a bit, about 10 minutes.
- Add stock and remaining ingredients, except pasta. Bring to a very gentle simmer and cover with lid. Cook until vegetables have reached desired tenderness about 25-30 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Taste and adjust salt and other spices to your liking.
- While vegetables cook, prepare pasta in a separate pot according to package directions. When soup is done add drained pasta and serve.
Notes
I added pasta to each bowl rather than the whole pot of soup so that leftovers could be stored without the pasta becoming too soft.
