Skirts On Fire

Moroccan Spiced Chickpea Soup

From Good Deal with Dave Lieberman

This is delicious, cheap and gluten-free.

1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced
6-8 cloves of garlic, pressed
1 t cinnamon
1 t cumin
1/8 t cayenne
1 t sweet paprika
14.5 oz diced tomatoes
3 x 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 L veg or chicken broth
1 t sugar
salt & pepper
5 oz fresh spinach

1. Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil.
2. Add spices (I usually use more of everything except the cayenne.)
3. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, broth and sugar.
4. Add a couple of pinches of salt and a good amount of pepper.
5. Add water to cover chickpeas.
6. Bring to a simmer and then lower heat, cooking for 45 min.
7. (Optional) Remove from heat and mash slightly. Or use a hand-blender and blend up a third of the soup or to the consistency you like.
8. Add spinach.
9. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
10. Drizzle a bit more olive oil and serve
