Maybe the reason is that I love soup. Maybe the reason is that it's so befitting for a January evening.
Or maybe the reason is that I have been sick for five days and I am getting really tired of the same old chicken noodle soup!
Whatever the reason ( I just can't figure it out with the way this fever has scrambled my brain), Heidi Swanson's Ultimate Chickpea Noodle Soup featured on her blog 101 Cookbooks is looking mighty good right now. She took inspiration from her travels through Puglia, Italy, and created a wholly vegetarian version of this soup. The slightly opaque broth dotted with rich oil, the hearty ceci beans (chickpeas), and of course, the undulating ribbons of pasta are all beautiful together in the bowl.

A big mess of greens, filled with smokey turkey and everything that will cure you. How can anything with pot liquor not be good for you?
