Hey, y’all, I hope you’ll forgive another soup recipe if it’s 80 degrees where you are, but seeing as we have tons of snow up Nord here in Minnesota, I’m still in full-on comfort mode. But maybe no matter what the temp is where you are, you’ll want to try this Chicken, Chickpea & Orecchiette Pasta Soup.
Chicken Chickpea & Orecchiette Pasta Soup
I love love love fall. It’s my favorite season. I love the cool crisp air, and the fall colors and the golden fields and bare branches contrasting against the cool skies. And I love fall flavors and food that has. Lots of taste, lots of comfort. Roasted Red Pepper Hummus qualifies on both counts.

I wasn’t just going on and on about the Chickpea in the previous post for the fun of it! 🙂 I am absolutely enamored by this main dish salad. It’s full of fantastic good for you ingredients: Spinach, Chickpeas, Olives and Oven Roasted Cauliflower and is set off beautifully by the home-made dressing.

The chickpea (sometimes called Garbanzo beans) has been around since Man began cultivating and is a main staple of many diets. Somehow, the lowly chickpea, here in the States, isn’t given the love it deserves.

Hummus, here in the US, is often spelled as shown, but I suspect this is a phonetic rendering and in most areas of the world is spelled just like Elaine over at Foodbod does, Homous. See, Elaine and I got to talking about Hummus/Homous after Ginger from Ginger & Bread and I did dual posts about her Viennese Schnitzel compared to my Iowa Pork Tenderloin Sandwich.
