Quick and Easy Garbanzo Soup

Fall is in full swing, which means one thing — soup season! Caldo de pollo, caldo de res are a few of my favorites, but I also like to I like to beef up my soups using beans, lentils, quinoa or garbanzo beans.  I keep my pantry stocked with garbanzo beans to add to my salads, soups, purees or to stuff my chiles with.  This quick and easy garbanzo soup features garbanzo beans as the main protein, but they also add texture and help to thicken the broth.

Pasta adds another layer of texture while adding a boost of comfort to this soup.  Mexican style diced tomatoes with green chiles add a burst of freshness with a hint of spice.  This is a pantry friendly soup that I often make when my morning has slipped by and it’s suddenly dinner time.  Some days I might add a few chopped carrots or a few stalks of celery to the mix, but I always, always make a double batch.  The family is content and I am set for lunch the next day.

    As one of my kids said (after refusing to eat it, but finally testing it), “This soup is weirdly good!” How true, we all LOVED it. It was delicious and easy to make.
