Pasta and Chickpea Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 - 15 ounce can tomatoes, diced (with juice)
  • 2 - 15 ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 6 teaspoons chicken broth/seasoning, instant
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon basil, dried
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram, dried
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup pasta, small (like shells)
  • 6 cups baby spinach, fresh
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste) pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. When the pan is hot add the garlic and onions. Sauté until the onions are soft.
  3. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, chicken broth/seasoning, water, basil, marjoram, rosemary, cayenne pepper. Stir and simmer 15 - 20 minutes.
  4. Add the pasta and spinach and simmer about 5-7 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Adjust the seasonings as desired.

You can use 6 cups of chicken broth in place of the chicken seasoning and water.

You may want to top this Pasta and Chickpea Soup with Parmesan cheese.

You can double this recipe. If you do it will take longer to come to a simmer.

If you add a larger pasta wait a few minutes before adding the spinach so the spinach does not get overcooked.
