Let’s take a closer look at how to make this soup.

How to make Chickpea Vegetable Noodle Soup

One of the best parts about this Vegetable Noodle Soup is it’s made with just about 8 ingredients that you likely already have on hand. And for the ingredients you don’t have, they are easy to swap out!

The ingredients for this Vegetable Noodle Soup

• Carrots
• Celery
• Onions
• Garlic
• Mushrooms
• Noodles
• Chickpeas
• Veggie Broth
• Spices

That’s it! A simple soup that celebrates fall vegetables in a hearty, wholesome, and delicious way!

Step One – Grab your best soup pot

I love my Dutch Oven from Le Creuset for soups. Made from cast iron, they are perfect for slow cooking and simmering soups and stews. My Dutch Oven is one of the most useful and versatile kitchen tools I have and although it’s a bit pricey, you will use this one over and over again (for soups, stews, sides, bread, and even desserts!) and it will last you a lifetime.

Plus they come in all different colors! Check them out here.

While any soup pot will do, when I have loved and trusted kitchen items, I like to share them with you.  As a minimalist, I prefer few, high-quality, multi-functional products and I know many of you share that value. Besides, the holidays are upon us and I know some of you are thinking about gifts for your loved ones already.

Step two: Sauté vegetables

As you would imagine, the onions and garlic are sautéed first until they are nice and translucent. Once the sweet fragrance of onion fills our kitchen, we can add the carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté the vegetable for just about 3 minutes to get them tender and slightly caramelized on the outside.

Step three: Add the remaining ingredients

Toss everything else into your soup pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer, cover, and simmer until your noodles are cooked all the way through, about 12 minutes. Be careful not to overcook your noodles!

And that’s it! A little bit of sautéing and simmering and you’ve got yourself a warm and hearty Vegetable Noodle Soup.

Tips and tricks for making perfect chickpea noodle soup

• This Chickpea Vegetable Noodle Soup is very versatile. That means you can adjust herbs and spices as you please and experiment with different vegetables. Zucchini is a nice alternative to carrots. Mushrooms can be omitted altogether.
• Keep a close eye on the noodles; you want to remove the soup from the heat when the noodles are al dente. The noodles will continue to cook in the hot broth as the soup cools. If you overcook the noodles, they will get soft and mushy.

Serving and storing Vegetable Noodle Soup

• Let soup cool 10 minutes before serving it. Serve it with fresh ground pepper and crackers.
• If you are storing the soup, the noodles will continue to expand in the broth. You may need to add a little bit of vegetable broth when heating it up the following days.
• Soup should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

That’s about all you need to know to make the perfect Vegetable Noodle Soup. Let’s give it a go!
