Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 (15 oz) canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 34 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 23 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add minced garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes; cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in tomato paste, chickpeas, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15 minutes.
  3. Blend half of the soup using an immersion blender until smooth, leaving some chickpeas intact for texture.
  4. Mix in sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, coconut milk, and spinach. Simmer for another 5–10 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot garnished with fresh basil leaves.
