- Begin by gathering and measuring all your ingredients so they are ready to use.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water.

- Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
- In a large saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the rosemary to the pan and sauté briefly to release its fragrance, making sure it doesn’t burn.
- Add the canned tomatoes to the pan, stirring to combine with the rosemary.
- Add the chickpeas (pre-cooked or canned and drained).
- Pour in 4 cups of water or vegetable broth to make the soup base more liquid if desired.
- Add a dash of black pepper and a dash of salt.
- Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
- Add the cooked whole-wheat pasta to the soup, stirring to combine.
- Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb some of the soup's flavors.
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top or garnish with extra rosemary.
- Serve hot, perhaps with some crusty whole-grain bread on the side.
Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary for a more vibrant flavor, but dried rosemary works well too.
- Rinse the canned garbanzo beans and canned tomatoes to reduce the sodium content.
- Cook the whole-wheat pasta separately until al dente to prevent it from becoming too soft in the soup.
- You can add other vegetables like spinach, carrots, or celery for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
