Chickpea Noodle Soup from Homestyle Vegan by Amber St. Peter: comforting, nourishing, and sure to make you feel better, no matter what ails you.

Chickpea Noodle Soup (Vegan, gluten free option) from the cookbook Homestyle Vegan by Amber St. Peter (Fettle Vegan)

I’ve been excited about the cookbook Homestyle Vegan ever since I heard Amber was working on it. You may be familiar with Amber’s work from her website Fettle Vegan. She creates delicious plant-based recipes, many of which are gluten free. I’m personally a fan of her many taco recipes.

When I learned I could pick a recipe from the book to share with you, I was immediately drawn to the Chickpea Noodle Soup.

But before we get to the Chickpea Noodle Soup recipe, I want to share with you more about Homestyle Vegan.

Homestyle Vegan by Amber St Peter (and recipe for Chickpea Noodle Soup)

While other vegan cookbooks often rely on faux meats and tofu, this cookbook leaves them out completely. There’s no weird or exotic ingredients here. You can easily find all the ingredients at your local market.

In addition, the recipes are very personal to Amber, based on what she grew up eating in Maine.

So you’ll find remakes of classic dishes such as French Onion Soup, Green Bean Casserole with Crunchy Onions, and Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies.

The book is divided into the following sections:

Rise + Shine

Meals That’ll Stick To Your Ribs

Feed Your Friends

Crowd-Pleasers

Cook Up Some Comfort Food

Bake Sale-Worthy Baked Goods

When Cookies Won’t Cut It

Have A Drink

Stock Your Pantry

Besides the soup, I’ve also tried the Sloppy Chicks, which is a healthier (and delicious) version of Sloppy Joes.

And I’m really excited to try the Rosemary Garlic Hasselback Potatoes, Caesar Salad with Homemade Dill Croutons, Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars…I could go on and on!

Chickpea Noodle Soup from Homestyle Vegan

Whether you’re sick with a fever or a broken heart, this soup is the answer. I've replaced the chicken in this classic comfort food with chickpeas to give you the protein you need to help recover, and the broth filled with fresh thyme and garlic will smell so good your sinuses will want to clear up all on their own! If you’re still heartbroken, a little ice cream probably wouldn’t hurt either. (From Homestyle Vegan, copyright 2016 by Amber St. Peter. Used by permission Page Street Publishing Co.)
