Ingredients
- 2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas
- 1 (15-ounce) can peeled tomatoes
- 1 onion large
- 1 carrot large
- 2 stalks of celery
- 1 cup peas
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Baharat spice mix
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 4 cups water
- lemon
Instructions
- Preheat a large pot with olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add finely chopped onion and saute until translucence. Add Baharat spice mix. Stirring constantly, cook for one more minute.
- Add sliced carrot and chopped celery. Saute for two more minutes and add chopped canned peeled tomatoes.
- Then stir in chickpeas, peas, and pour the water. Season with salt to taste and mix until well combined. Turn up the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once bubbling, lower the heat, close the pot with the lid, and leave it simmering for about 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Once your chickpea soup is ready to go, add a bunch of fresh baby spinach. It will definitely add an exceptional, delicate, slightly fresh taste. Squeeze some lemon juice if desired.
