Notes

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Chickpea noodle soup freezes well and can be stored for up to 3 months. Let the soup cool completely, ladle the soup into an airtight freezer-safe container, and freeze it for up to three months.

If you want this recipe to be completely gluten-free simply swap out the whole wheat pasta for your favorite gluten-free version.

If using spaghetti, as I do, be sure and break the noodles into smaller pieces. Alternately, you can use any short-cut pasta you wish.
