Instructions:

  1. Sauté the Aromatics
    Heat 1–2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ½ chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots (150 g), and 2 chopped celery stalks. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  2. Add Chickpeas and Spice
    Add 240 g (1 cup) cooked chickpeas and 1 tsp turmeric. Stir and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Simmer
    Pour in 1.4 L (6 cups) vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  4. Add Noodles and Lemon
    Stir in 85 g (1 cup) noodles and juice of 1 lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until noodles are al dente.
  5. Add Kale
    Toss in 67 g (1 cup) chopped kale and simmer for 2–3 minutes until wilted.

Notes:

  • Roasted garlic gives a deep, sweet flavor — make it ahead and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Store noodles separately from the soup to prevent them from going mushy.

Storage:

  • Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months without the noodles.

Swaps:

  • Swap kale for spinach or Swiss chard.
  • Use white beans or lentils instead of chickpeas.

Tips:

  • Add a kombu strip while simmering for extra umami depth.
