Get ready for a unique twist on ‘Chicken” Noodle Soup-Italian Noodle Soup. I use chickpeas instead of chicken (see note below.) This is easy and quick. I love the sweet potatoes here and the Italian spices. It is hearty and healthy.
NOTE: You can easily add chicken to this in place of the chickpeas or even as an addition. I keep it as is though. 😉
Enjoy all my Soups!
