Moroccan Spiced Chickpea Soup {Vegan + Gluten Free}

Step 1

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped celery and cook until onion becomes translucent (reduce heat if they start to brown).

Step 2

Add spices (cinnamon, cumin, cayenne pepper and paprika) and cook for about one minute, stirring.

Step 3

Add crushed tomatoes, chickpeas and broth (chickpeas should be just covered by the broth - if they're not covered, add just enough water to cover them). Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.

Step 4

Remove soup from the heat. Using a potato masher, mash some of the soup directly in the pot. Stir in spinach and let it cook through the heat of the soup for a couple of minutes until wilted. Adjusted salt and pepper if needed and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
