Chickpea & Sausage Minestrone

I took a break from some work to finally look through this Cooking Light magazine we just got in the mail- so of course I had to look through to find something for dinner!

I ended up picking the chickpea and sausage minestrone because:

1. Soup is perfect for the cold and snowy weather!

2. I’ve been trying to experiment with chickpeas in small doses (o_O)

The recipe suggests using ciabatta parmesan toasts to go with it, but I just sliced up some baguette, spread a little pesto over top, and toasted them in the oven… Super delicious!

The soup was very, very spicy, but the chickpeas took on the same flavor- so overall I thought it was pretty good.  It didn’t take long to make, either- plus, there are lots of leftovers!

Much recommended wintery recipe for cold nights!
