INSTRUCTIONS
Combine just half the garlic, lemon zest, just 1 tsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in small bowl and set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook until vegetables are soft and aromatic but have no color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add remaining garlic, nutritional yeast, and just 1 tsp thyme and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add broth concentrate, 3 cups water, pasta, and ½ tsp salt to saucepan with aromatics. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until pasta is tender, 9 to 11 minutes.
Stir just half the parsley and 1 tbsp olive oil into bowl with marinated garlic. Stir chickpeas into soup and cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in just 1 tbsp lemon juice, remaining parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Divide one-pot herby noodle soup with chickpeas between bowls and top with garlicky parsley salad. Enjoy!
