Chickpea Noodle Soup

from PPK

If there is anything enjoyable about having a cold it is surely soup. When the sinus pressure began to build I checked the fridge for the necessary ingredients and on a Sudafed run we picked up the mushrooms. Slurping noodles and sipping hot broth is quite comforting and this soup is delicious. The brown rice miso creates an almost creamy broth with a bit of a wine flavour. C actually tried the broth and thought it would be excellent with wild rice.

A few notes for next time:

• If using noodles cook them seperately and add to the bowl not to the pot. The spaghetti absorbed all of the broth in my leftovers and the soba the recipe called for would do the same if not more so.
• As C suggested, the miso broth would make excellent vegan wild rice soup. Next time I will double the mushrooms and cook a batch of wild rice separately, then add the wild rice to my bowl and pour the broth over top.
