I recently blanched and froze a lot of celery to use in soups, red beans and rice, and other stew-type dishes. My first use of this frozen celery was in an updated version of the homemade vegan noodle soup that I've been perfecting over the years. The key updates I made were adding in some Instant Pot-cooked chickpeas and a bit of turmeric, inspired by a Cookies and Kate recipe.
This revised recipe was really fantastic - the light carrot, celery, and parsley flavors that one expects in a vegetable or chicken noodle soup, with a lot more substance from the added chickpeas. This really was a great, comforting one-pot meal, though I couldn't help but serve it with some homemade bread as well :-) Recipe follows the pictures of the final products.
