  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

Make It

Step 1

Heat oil in large, heavy-duty saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add tomato paste, cinnamon, paprika and turmeric. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Stir in chickpeas, water, bouillon, chopped tomatoes and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 35 minutes.

Step 2

Scoop out about 1 cup chickpeas from soup; set aside. With a potato masher, mash up the chickpeas in the saucepan. Add whole chickpeas back to soup. Add zucchini to soup.

Step 3

Cook for 15 minutes or until zucchini is al dente.

Step 4

Remove from heat. Stir in spinach.
