As spinach is a rich source of fiber, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, plus small quantities of vitamin E, A, C, K, folate, thiamine, B vitamins, it is hard not to give it a leading role in most dishes. This tasty soup is no exception, balancing it out with chickpeas and tomato, for some healthy carbs, additional vitamin C, and protein.

2 teaspoons olive oil
