Chickpea Stew with Tomatoes and Spinach

This simple 20-minute, one-pan chickpea stew is made of simmered tomatoes, wilted spinach, aromatics, and warm seasonings. It’s a delicious vegetarian soup that also freezes fabulously- and it’s awesome with a shower of parmesan cheese on top!

Sometimes I wonder where I would be in life without the humble chickpea.

Seriously, this little plant powerhouse has saved many a dinner for me over the years. It’s flavorful, pairs well with tons of ingredients, can be eaten whole or blended into hummus, and it’s budget-friendly and protein-packed to boot.

I love this easy veggie soup in particular as a simple dinner I can throw together when we’re all tired but need something healthy.

Servings 2

Equipment

• 1 6 QT Pot with Lid

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red onion diced
• 1×15 oz can canned chickpeas drained
• 1×15 oz can canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 handfuls baby spinach
• 3 cloves garlic skins removed and roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

 

Make From Fresh:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and stir to coat, then cook until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the drained chickpeas, diced tomatoes and their liquid, chicken stock, spinach, and garlic and stir to combine.
• Bring to a hard simmer, then reduce heat to low. Add the vinegar.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted and the chickpeas are completely cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Serve warm with buttered crusty bread and, if desired, a shower of parmesan cheese on top.

Notes

This is a simple pantry stew that be thrown together with ingredients in your cupboard! Feel free to substitute frozen spinach in place of fresh, and vegetable stock in place of chicken.
This stew is great with a shower of crumbled feta cheese or parmesan thrown on top, and crusty bread to mop up the juices is a must.
