Background

This vegan minestrone soup with chickpeas is healthy and hearty, a perfect immune booster. Minestrone soup is normally made with small or medium sized shell pasta, but you can use other types, even gluten-free varieties. If you don’t follow a vegan diet, serve it with Parmesan.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
2 stalks celery
2 carrots
1 tsp dried oregano or marjoram or Italina mixed herbs
1 L vegetable stock
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup dried pasta of your choice
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
Salt & pepper

Instructions

Finely chop the onion and garlic, then dice the carrot and celery .
In a large, heavy-based pot, heat the oil, then gently sauté the onion for 5 minutes until soft, then add the garlic, carrot and celery pieces. Add the dried herbs, then gently sweat the vegetables over low heat for about 5 minutes.
Add the vegetable stock, tinned tomatoes and bring to a boil.
Add the pasta and bring to the boil again, then simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes.
Add the chickpeas and warm through. Season with freshly ground peppercorn and salt if needed.
Serve with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan scattered on top.
