Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
-
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
-
Stir in the cumin, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the onion and garlic mixture. Allow the spices to toast for about 1 minute to develop their flavors.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth, drained garbanzo beans, and diced tomatoes. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes to meld the flavors together.
-
Add the fresh spinach to the pot and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.

Once the soup is heated through and the spinach is wilted, remove the pot from the heat. Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
