3. Add your already chopped garlic, parsnip, sliced carrot, and celery. Cook it for about 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Now, add tomato paste, tomatoes, sweet paprika powder, and bring to boil. Once that is done, add the seasoning as well as the dried bay leaves, and stir them together until they combine.
5. Add veggie broth, diced potatoes, and cook until the potatoes are soft. Once the potatoes are softened, add canned or cooked beans, chickpeas and cook for another 5 minutes.
6. Finally, add your already cooked pasta and the freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy yourself. Store your remaining soup in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days for later consumption.
