Chickpeas are one of my favorite ingredients in soup. They don't lose their texture or their nutty flavor. Whether in a spicy Harira (served during Ramadan) or in this mild flavored Italian soup, Chickpeas make soup both nutritious and delicious. This soup has been popular in Italian homes for over 1000 years, and it was recommended to us by a good friend who says it is her daughter's favorite soup.

  • 1 1/2 dried rosemary crushed or a large sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 cup canned imported Italian plum tomatoes in their juice

  • 1 cup beef stock or broth
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot on medium, add the garlic, and saute until they are light brown about 30-60 seconds. Add the rosemary and the cut up tomatoes with juice. Cook for 20 minutes or until the oil floats free.
  2. Add the chickpeas and cook for 5 minutes, stirring thoroughly. Add the broth and adjust to a bubbling simmer for about 15 minutes.
  3. Taste and correct for salt. Add pepper to taste. Let the soup bubble for another minute and then serve if not adding pasta. If adding pasta, follow these steps:
  4. Remove 1/3 of the chickpeas and crush them in a bowl or puree them in a food processor, then put them back in the pot with the two extra cups of broth and bring to a moderate boil.
  5. Add the pasta, stir, and cover the pot. Stop cooking when the pasta is tender but still firm, about 5 minutes. Add more liquid if needed.
  6. When pasta is done, turn off the heat and swirl in the grated Parmesan cheese and butter. Taste and correct for salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

      John, we enjoy this soup frequently. My grandmother always made it as your pasta version with lots of garlic. Lovely!

            I made this last about 2 weeks ago and we loved it. We are soup nuts, I make soup once a week even in the summer. This was so good , I did add some chicken to it, it was very good.

                  This looks like a great cold-weather pantry soup!

                    I recently made a very similar soup but I added fresh green beans, light red kidney beans and used small tubetti pasta. A fresh sprig of rosemary when serving (but before eating) adds a nice touch too. Also, I used shredded Asiago cheese instead of parm. Yummy.
