Instructions

Simple & easy-to-follow

Step 1

Set the Instant Pot in “saute” mode and add oil. When the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and bay leaf. Let the cumin seeds sizzle.

Step 2

Then add the chopped onion and garlic and saute for a couple of minutes.

Step 3

When the onions are soft and tender, add the vegetables – celery, carrots, and peas. Then add salt and mix them all.

Step 4

Now add the ground pepper and the cajun spice blend. Turn off the Instant Pot at this stage. Mix all the ingredients and make sure to scrape the bottom.

Step 5

Add the chickpeas and pasta. If you are using cabbage core, add that as well.

Step 6

Finally, add in the vegetable broth and mix well.

Step 7

Now close the Instant Pot. Make sure the sealing ring is in place and set the vent to the sealing position. Pressure cook for 3 minutes at high-pressure manual mode and release the pressure quickly as soon as the cooking is complete. When the pressure is all released, carefully open the lid.

Step 8

Remove the cabbage core and the bay leaf from the soup and discard them.

Step 9

Set the Instant Pot in saute mode again and add the celery greens and simmer for 5 minutes. At this stage, check for seasoning and adjust accordingly. And that's it. Delicious chickpeas pasta soup is ready. Serve warm.
