Noodle, Veggie and Chickpea Soup

Directions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

2. Add the carrots, celery, salt, and pepper. Stir. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add the broth and chickpeas. Bring to a boil. Break the noodled in half and add them. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

4. Once the noodles are soft, about 10 minutes, reduce the heat to low and cover. Continue simmering for 20-30 minutes to meld the flavors.

5. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper as needed.
