Chickpea Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Chickpea noodles and crispy seasoned chickpeas add texture and gluten free heartiness to a kitchen classic! Turmeric adds an exotic touch of flavor to the broth in this chunky, savory soup.

It was only time before someoneee got sick this winter. Fortunately it’s not COVID but my honey has felt under the weather for nearly a week!!! It’s funny, no matter your age our sick-induced cravings always seem to stay the same… enter the request for chicken noodle soup!

Chicken Noodle Soup is fairly simple — veggies, chicken, broth, seasoning — so I wanted to spice our recipe up just slightly with some turmeric (super anti-inflammatory) and some extra texture because I hate a mushy noodle. Chickpeas to the rescue!

I used chickpea noodles — gluten free with a little extra “bite” than traditional semolina noodles — as well as oven roasted chickpeas for a crunchy topping. You’ll just need a couple of ingredients and 30 or so minutes to pull together a savory, satisfying and oh so comforting meal. Let’s do this!

For a spiced and savory chickpea chicken noodle soup…

  1. Preheat oven to broil or highest temperature.
  2. Toss drained and rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, chili powder and oregano before placing on sheet pan.
  3. Broil for 5 minutes, toss, then broil 2-3 more mins.
  4. In a dutch oven, heat a tbsp. oil then sauté onions, celery and carrots until soft.
  5. Add in turmeric, salt, pepper, bay leaves and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  6. Remove bay leaves and add chickpea noodles, cooking for 7-9 minutes.
  7. Add in shredded rotisserie chicken and fresh parsley.
  8. Serve in bowls topped with roasted chickpeas!

Hope you stay healthy but keep this soup in mind for any days you’re feeling sluggish! The turmeric is great for detoxing after big weekends as well 🙂 happy slurping!
