A vegan creamy chickpea noodle soup. Packed with vegetables and made creamy with a touch of coconut milk. This soup is flavorful, comforting and perfect for a cold winter’s night.

This soup is my definition of vegan comfort food. It’s warm and cozy, packed with flavor and contains a good amount of pasta. What could be better?!

If you’re looking for a warming and comforting vegan soup, this is it. It’s also a great alternative to chicken noodle soup, but instead, we’re using chickpeas!

To take it to the next level, I also added coconut milk to make it a creamy noodle soup. Trust me, you shouldn’t taste the coconut, but it adds such a rich creaminess to the soup. If you’re not a fan of coconut, simply substitute it with more broth or use plain almond milk. I personally haven’t tried the latter, but it’s worth a try!

How to Make Vegan Noodle Soup:

This soup is similar to a creamy chicken noodle soup. Instead of chicken, we’re using chickpeas and instead of cream, we’re using coconut milk! Here’s how it works…

• Start by sautéing the onions and garlic, then add carrots and celery. Sauté a few more minutes, then add the herbs and spices. Here we’re using savory, oregano, turmeric and ginger.
• Add the vegetable broth and coconut milk, then bring the soup to a boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. You want the vegetables to soften a little.
• Once the vegetables have softened, add the pasta and chickpeas. Let it cook until the pasta has softened to your liking.
• Top with pepper and fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes on the Recipe:

• I used regular vegetable broth in this soup. If you use low-sodium broth, you might need to add more salt. Taste the soup and adjust as needed.
• I like to use whole wheat fusilli pasta for a little extra fiber. Regular white pasta or gluten-free pasta can also be used. Just make sure not to overcook gluten-free pasta as it will cook more quickly.
• Low-fat and high-fat coconut milk are both great options in this soup. High-fat is my personal favorite. It results in a creamier, richer soup.
• If you can’t find summer savory, you can substitute it with additional oregano or use dried basil or parsley.
• This soup is best when served immediately. The pasta will get softer and will absorb more liquid as it sits in the fridge. If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add additional broth when you reheat it.

And that’s it! I hope you’ll enjoy this comforting noodle soup as much as we do.
