Happy to be partnering with my friends at Chickapea on this wonderful spring soup. As many of you know, I am gluten free so this lentil chickpea pasta is a favorite. Chickapea pasta has a unique texture and wonderful nutty flavor that holds up to all kinds of sauces and ingredients. It’s non-GMO and has a low glycemic index plus it’s a superfood with more than 25 grams of protein.

Chickapea

I’ve combined it with some of my favorite spring vegetables like asparagus, carrots and spring peas to name a few to make a delicious soup. I finished it off by garnishing with a little parsley and freshly grated Parmesan. Such a fabulous way to celebrate spring that leaves you feeling full and satisfied!

Chickapea has also just introduced organic mac and cheese.

This post is in partnership with Chickapea Pasta.
