How to make vegetable pasta soup
Which pasta to use
Have you tried Barilla Chickpea Rotini yet? Baby Max and I are both obsessed with this chickpea pasta! I love that the only ingredient is chickpeas. Gluten free pasta has gotten so much more exciting. Barilla does it again…bringing the absolute highest quality pasta with the best possible ingredients to the table. They even have researchers that ensure every pasta shape cooks up perfectly al dente! How cool is that? I love that pasta, a traditional staple of the Mediterranean diet, serves as the perfect canvas for nutrient-rich veggies, lean proteins and healthy oils. Whether it’s soup, salad, or a main dish, chickpea pasta is an amazing nutritious foundation to build on! If you’re looking for a more filling pasta option that can also stand on its own with some olive oil and a pinch of salt, look no further. One serving of Barilla Chickpea Rotini boasts 11 grams of protein (11% Daily Value (DV)) and 8 grams of fiber (29% DV). Pasta bliss, people!
Key ingredients and tips
Pasta: My go-to is Barilla Chickpea Rotini cooked al dente because the box makes the perfect amount for this soup and it’s packed with plant protein. Even Jeff agreed this soup counts as a meal…LOL. Cashews: Raw cashews make the base of this soup. All the creaminess sans dairy! Onion + garlic: Aromatics for a flavorful soup base. Shallot or leeks would also be nice. Dried herbs: Oregano, thyme, and a pinch of rosemary for the coziest soup. Mixed vegetables: I used a bag of frozen peas, carrots, green beans and corn because it makes this soup come together extra fast. Feel free to use two cups of fresh veggies if you have those on hand! A package of mushrooms would also be amazing here. Vegetable broth: Another layer of flavor. Use store bought or make your own! Soy sauce: For extra umami flavor. YUM.
