A plant-based spin on the classic dish, chicken noodle soup. This recipe uses one of my favourite pantry staples…CHICKPEAS! Chickpeas are a nutrient-dense legume that is a good source of fibre and plant-protein. This soup will leave you feeling satisfied and cozy, and best of all, it uses minimal ingredients and is super straightforward to make.
