Here is how you make Chick-Pea Pasta Soup with Spinach:

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion 3 mins or until softened. Sir in garlic, carrots, celery, basil, salt & pepper. Cook for 5-7 mins stirring occasionally until vegetables just begin to brownAdd tomatoes and stock and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and cook for 7 mins or until tender but firm. Add spinach and chick-peas, return to a boil, remove from heat. Serve immediately sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Makes 6 servings.Note: I make the pasta separately. The soup is a bit thinner but the pasta doesn't soften if the soup isn't finished in one meal. (also easier to measure the amount of pasta) Actually, the soup is great without the pasta.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user K8SMUM.
