Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Canned Goods

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes

Liquids & Oils

  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Spices

  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add chopped onions and minced garlic; sauté until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Spices: Stir in the ground cumin and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute to allow the spices to release their flavors and aroma into the oil.
  3. Add Tomatoes: Pour in the canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes along with their juices; stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Add Broth and Chickpeas: Add the low-sodium vegetable broth and rinsed chickpeas to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.
  5. Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes before serving, incorporating greens for added nutrition and color.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately for the best taste.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium broth to keep the soup heart-healthy and control salt levels.
  • For a creamier texture, blend part or all of the soup after cooking.
  • Fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro make excellent garnishes.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • To add protein, consider topping with a dollop of Greek yogurt or adding cooked chicken.
