Vegan Comfort Food: Chickpea Noodle Soup and Baking Powder Biscuits

It’s cold. Windy. Winter is hanging on. What do you need? A big massive bowl of comfort soup and biscuits to slather in maple apple butter and dip in the broth. Holly’s posting of her Chickpea Noodle Soup got me thinking, so I made a big pot of savory soup. Let it be known that if you feel croupy this soup will heal you like no other. Chicken Noodle Soup? Pffftttt. Try this!

  1. I’m honored to have a small part in the inspiration of this incredible soup. It looks divine! And those biscuits! Oh girl, you may have started a problem for me. Once I start thinking of biscuits there is really no options but to eat 3 or 4.

      1. I’ve decided I want to make this meal. I was going to make the lemon bars of yours but hubby says he is not a fan of all the coconut so this would be healthy and DELISH. Those biscuits are calling my name!!! I’m planning this meal for weekend dinner. It’s perfect because I have extra ginger I need to use. I just made a dish last night using fresh ginger that I’m posting soon. Thanks for sharing this. I love Holly’s blog too 🙂

  2. Pfft to chicken noodle soup for sure. I think you ladies may have started something here! Who needs soy curls when you’ve got chickpeas?
