Veggie Soup with Chickpea Spätzle

I have never tried Spätzle before and I enjoyed this soup so much! It turned out well.

Absolutely lovely soup

Very good base, quick and easy recipe. Love it! Added extra spices for flavour boost.
Time saver tip: Soba noodle at the end l, instead of spatzle. :)

This was decent and a good way to eat a variety of veggies, spatzle turned out well. But feel like it was not super flavorful. Maybe if I used a larger onion there would be more depth of flavor, or maybe more Italian seasoning?

We're glad that the spatzle turned out, Morris! For more flavour, you can indeed consider adding a larger onion or increasing the amount of Italian seasoning next time. You could also try adding more bouillon or incorporating additional herbs or spices to enhance the dish to your taste preferences 🤗

Made this today, it was very delicious! I added a little bit more watter to the spatzle mixture. Impressed how easy was to make the spatzle with squeeze bottle.

Sadly this didn't work for us at all. I added the double amount of water to the chickpea Spätzle Mix because Apotheke comment suggested. The Spätzle did not stay together but we ended up with a thickend soup. I'm married to a swabian and german myself. So we are experienced in eating and cooking traditional Spätzle. We used a "Spätzle-Presse" and my husband cooked the Spätzle. So the only mistake i can imagine is the extra water i added to the dough (my husband says this doesn't make sense as a more liquid dough should stick together even bester, but he never made any kind of vegan spätzle).
The soup was still tasting nice though.

Hey Desdo, thanks for sharing your experience with the spätzle, we're sad to hear! We indeed imagine the extra water could have impacted the texture. If you give the recipe another try, we'd recommend starting with the listed amount and adding more if needed. Reducing the water amount can help achieve a thicker dough consistency, which may help the Spätzle hold together better during cooking 🤗

Made this recipe today and it turned out delicious…more than I had previously thought it would. However the amount of water (1/4 cup) listed for the spatzle mix was not enough. I used 1/2 cup instead and it was perfect.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with this recipe, Priscila, so glad it was enjoyed!

Nice winter meal

This is enough for a small army. I cut the spatzle by 4 and it was still too much!

Cooked it today and it’s delicious! Love this recipe and it is so much fun to make the Spätzle! Thank you Sadia and Pick Up Limes team 🙏

Loved it! Tasted delicious!

Pretty tasty!
