Chickpea stew

This is a favorite choice of mine for Meatless Monday. It is a combination of vegetables you probably already have like celery, carrots, and onion. Plus it is a good way to use up extra bits like the two mushrooms I added.  The only thing I picked up from the store was the kale. So vegetables, chickpeas, soup-size pasta, some herbs, and vegetable broth and/or water and you have dinner.
