Servings: persons

1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 celery rib, trimmed and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 (14 ounce) cans chickpeas
2 cups vegetable stock
3 1/2 ounces ditalini (or other 'tiny' pasta)
1/2 tablespoon sea salt (or to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped (optional)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

1
Add onion, celery, garlic, and rosemary in pan with olive oil and cook over gentle heat for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft. Be careful not to caramelize them!
2
Drain chickpeas in cold water and add them to pan, then cover with chicken stock. Cook over gentle heat for 30 minutes.
3
Remove half the chickpeas and reserve in a bowl.
4
Use an immersion blender to puree the remaining soup (or jush mash the chick peas up really well with a potato masher for a more rustic presentation).
5
Return reserved chickpeas to pan, and add pasta. Cook gently until the chickpeas are tender and the pasta is cooked.
6
If the soup is a little too thick, add small amounts of hot water until it's the consistency you like.
7
Season with salt, pepper, vinegar, and fresh herbs. Serve with a good loaf of bread!
8
Feel free to exchange the type of stock - this is equally good with beef or chicken instead of vegetable!
