Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the Vegetables

    Stir in the chopped bell pepper, diced zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Tomatoes and Broth

    Add the canned diced tomatoes (including juice) and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add the Chickpeas and Seasoning

    Stir in the drained chickpeas, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach

    After simmering for 10 minutes, add the fresh spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with optional parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
