Description

A warm and savory chickpea tomato soup that combines the earthiness of chickpeas with the vibrant acidity of fire-roasted tomatoes.


Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cups fresh spinach


Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil.
  2. Incorporate chopped onions and minced garlic; sauté until onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the ground cumin and smoked paprika; allow these spices to cook for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices; stir well to combine.
  5. Add your vegetable broth and chickpeas. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Finally, stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, which takes about 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Notes

For creaminess, blend a portion of the soup before serving. Adjust spice levels according to your preference.
