This soup is so hearty you can serve it up as a complete meal. Learn how to make Pasta and Bean Soup with Chef Jenifer Foy.

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb dried chickpeas
4 gallons vegetable stock
4 shallots
1 bulb garlic
2 celeriac (celery root)
2 lbs plum tomatoes
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups cooked bite-size pasta of choice
1/2 cup fresh-grated Asiago cheese
fresh-cracked black pepper

TOOLS:
large stockpot

REMEMBER THAT IT’S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON’T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

  1. You can presoak the beans overnight to make the cooking faster, or you can use a good brand of imported Italian canned chickpeas.
  2. Sort through the chickpeas, discarding any stones.
  3. In a large stockpot, simmer the peas in 2 gallons of the stock for approximately 2 to 3 hours, until the beans are tender. Drain.
  4. Peel and finely chop the shallots, garlic, and celeriac. Clean and chop the tomatoes and parsley.
  5. Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium temperature.
  6. Sauté the shallots, garlic, and celeriac for 3 minutes.
  7. Add the tomatoes and sauté for 1 minute.
  8. Add the remaining stock, the chickpeas, and parsley. Let simmer for 1 hour, uncovered.
  9. Just before serving, stir in the pasta (and beans, only if canned are used).
  10. Sprinkle each serving with cheese and pepper.
