It’s cold. Windy. Winter is hanging on. What do you need? A big massive bowl of comfort soup and biscuits to slather in maple apple butter and dip in the broth. Holly’s posting of her Chickpea Noodle Soup got me thinking, so I made a big pot of savory soup. Let it be known that if you feel croupy this soup will heal you like no other. Chicken Noodle Soup? Pffftttt. Try this!
Chickpea Noodle Soup

- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 15 to 19 ounce can garbanzo beans, drained
- Ground black pepper to taste

Heat a tall pot over medium heat, add oil, onion, carrots and celery, sauté until onion is tender. Add in garlic and ginger, cook for a minute.
Stir in broth, beans and pepper, bring to boil, turn down and simmer loosely covered until carrots are tender (10 to 15 minutes).

I’m honored to have a small part in the inspiration of this incredible soup. It looks divine! And those biscuits! Oh girl, you may have started a problem for me. Once I start thinking of biscuits there is really no options but to eat 3 or 4.
If I didn’t have you all for inspiration, I’d be a “Monday Meatloaf”, “Taco Tuesday” kind of girl…lol!
You inspire me Sarah! While shopping yesterday I stocked up on limes to make your Lime Pie! Coming Soon! I also want to make your banana pudding!
Love, love this soup! Need to make ASAP! And of course the biscuits look delish!
They were so good because they were not low-fat 😉 They’d make most excellent strawberry shortcake bases….
I’ve decided I want to make this meal. I was going to make the lemon bars of yours but hubby says he is not a fan of all the coconut so this would be healthy and DELISH. Those biscuits are calling my name!!! I’m planning this meal for weekend dinner. It’s perfect because I have extra ginger I need to use. I just made a dish last night using fresh ginger that I’m posting soon. Thanks for sharing this. I love Holly’s blog too 🙂
The ginger is what makes it, I think. That and all that garlic. Delicious, stinky garlic!
Pfft to chicken noodle soup for sure. I think you ladies may have started something here! Who needs soy curls when you’ve got chickpeas?
And it kept tasting better by the day as well…….
I’ll bet!
