Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Add Spices: Stir in the ground cumin and smoked paprika, cooking for about 1 minute to release their flavors and aromas.
  3. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes along with their juices, stirring well to combine with the sautéed aromatics and spices.
  4. Simmer Soup: Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas and the vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Wilt Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the greens to wilt and blend into the soup.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • This soup can be made vegan by ensuring the vegetable broth used is free from animal products.
  • For added protein and creaminess, consider blending a portion of the soup before adding the spinach.
  • Adjust the smoked paprika amount based on your spice preference for smokiness.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat on the stovetop or microwave.
