Notes
You can store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days (though the noodles will get soggier the longer they sit).
If you're prepping it in advance, I suggest cooking the noodles separately when you reheat the soup (it only takes a few extra minutes!).
For a vegan chickpea noodle soup, swap egg noodles for any short pasta (think fusilli, farfalline, or ditalini). Or, try chickpea pasta to add an extra protein punch!
