Chunky Chickpea Soup

Chickpea Soup by Pasta-based. Hearty, warm, vegetable-filled, chunky, fortifying soup with carrots, celery, leeks, potatoes, garlic, kale, and chickpeas.

Maybe we all have memories of gray winter days, flurries of snow dancing in the air outside the window, the birds are nesting to keep warm and every so often a pipe bangs in the walls before warm air rushes through the vent. It’s so quiet and peaceful. You pull a soft sweater out from the bottom drawer, put on the fuzziest socks you have, and wrap your fingers around a warm mug filled with coffee.

It’s the weeeeekend! Matt and I usually spend our days off hanging out with each other. We really value each others’ company and we enjoy doing a lot of the same things.

We often spend some time talking about things we hear throughout our week regarding our lifestyle. People have so many opinions and they are rarely afraid to tell us what they think about veganism. We never boast or act entitled about anything, we never argue and we actually never even start the conversation, but sometimes people are just say the silliest things and it can get disheartening.
