Notes

Tips for Perfect Chickpea Noodle Soup

  1. Use Fresh Herbs: If possible, add fresh thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
  2. Customize Your Noodles: Any small pasta or noodle works well—try elbow macaroni, fusilli, or even rice noodles for a gluten-free option.
  3. Meal Prep-Friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth if needed.
