Italian Chickpea Soup

November 14, 2009 by Monica Nelson Leave a Comment

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!

Serves about 8

4 cups vegetable broth
1 med onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, be careful this brings the heat
2 (16 0z) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained, (or chicken)
2 large large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 stalk celery, diced
1 tbs Dijon mustard
1/3 up parsley

1. Bring broth, onion, garlic, bay leaf, tyhme, oregano, cayenne pepper, and 2 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan over med. heat. Simmer 5 mins. Add chickpeas (or chicken), sweet potatoes, celery, and mustard, and simmer 10-12 mins or until the veggies are soft.

2. Mash vegetables and chickpeas to chunky puree with a potato masher. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
