Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups carrot, finely chopped
  • ⅔ cups celery, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp finely grated ginger, tightly packed
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme, leaves only
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 ½ cup small pasta shapes – I used whole-wheat Ditalini
  • 6 cups water or vegetable broth – I used water
  • ½ cup parsley, tightly packed, then finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp chickpea miso paste, optional
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add onion and sauté, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Onions should be translucent by now.
  • Lower the heat and add carrots, celery, garlic, ginger and a big pinch of sea salt. Cook, stirring often, for 5 more minutes.
  • Add tomato paste, thyme and turmeric and sauté for another minute or two.
  • Add pasta and water or vegetable broth.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 7 - 8 minutes (this will depend on your pasta cooking time).
  • Once the pasta is al dente (aka ready), turn off the heat and add parsley, lemon juice, miso (if using), sea salt and black pepper. Don’t skip the pepper, it increases curcumin absorption (turmeric’s miracle compound). Stir. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Serve and enjoy a cozy bowl of soup!
