    Tomato Chickpea Soup with Tiny Pasta and Fresh Herbs

    Published: Nov 19, 2012 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Chickpeas and miniature pasta shapes in a richly flavored tomato broth add up to a soup that comes together in no time, yet tastes as if it has been simmered for hours.

    Serves: 6

    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 cup tiny pasta such as ditalini, tiny bows, or mini shells,
      preferably whole grain (GF varieties are available, too)
    • 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
    • 15- to 16-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    • 2 teaspoons paprika
    • 1 tablespoon salt-free seasoning blend, such as Frontier
      or Mrs. Dash
    • ¼ cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes, optional
    • ¼ to ½ cup sliced basil leaves, as desired
    • ¼ cup minced fresh parsley
    • 2 to 3 scallions, thinly sliced
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat until golden.

    Add 4 cups water. Bring to a rapid simmer, then stir in the pasta. Cook until just al dente.

    Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, paprika, seasoning blend, and optional sun-dried tomatoes. Return to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently for 8 minutes.

    Add remaining ingredients. If the soup is too dense, add a cup or so of water. Bring to a simmer once again, then remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.

      Doesn't this soup need some added water or vegetable broth?

      Please disregard my earlier question. I just saw the added water in the instructions. I had looked only in the ingredients.
