Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 3 large carrots, diced
  • 4 celery ribs, diced
  • 2 teaspoons of paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of black pepper
  • 8 cups of vegetable broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 8 ounces of your favorite pasta

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 lemon
  • ½ cup of parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil and sauté the onion: Heat the olive oil in a large pot with a lid over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes tender and translucent.
  2. Add garlic, vegetables, and spices: Incorporate the sliced garlic, diced carrots, diced celery, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning and to release the spices’ aroma.
  3. Add broth and chickpeas: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Mix everything well, then cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmer until vegetables are tender: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the soup to simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the carrots are soft.
  5. Add pasta and let it soak: Add your favorite pasta to the soup and gently stir to prevent it from sticking. Turn off the heat and cover the pot with the lid, letting it sit undisturbed for 15 minutes to allow the pasta to cook in the hot broth without overcooking.
  6. Finish with lemon and parsley: Remove the lid and optionally squeeze half a lemon into the soup and add chopped parsley. Gently mix and taste to check if the pasta is cooked through and the seasoning is balanced. If the pasta is still undercooked, cover and let it sit for another 10 minutes with the heat off to avoid overcooking.

Notes

  • Using your favorite pasta allows customization for texture and type; small shapes work best.
  • Letting the pasta cook off-heat prevents it from becoming mushy and preserves the soup’s consistency.
  • Lemon juice adds a touch of brightness but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Parsley adds fresh herbal notes and color; optional but recommended.
  • This soup stores well and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
