Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, potatoes, spinach, and tomatoes. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

  2. 3

    Add the Broth and Water

    Pour in the vegetable broth and water into the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine.

  3. 4

    Add the Potatoes and Seasonings

    Add the diced potatoes, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, and the bay leaf to the pot. Stir to mix.

  4. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  5. 6

    Incorporate Spinach and Protein

    Add the chopped spinach and, if using, the chickpeas or shredded chicken to the pot. Stir gently and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

    Final Touches

    Remove the bay leaf and taste the soup. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  7. 8
