Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (can use oil-packed or dry)
- 2 cans chickpeas (drained + rinsed)
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
- ½ can full-fat coconut milk (about ¾ cup)
- ½ lemon (juiced (about 2 tbsp))
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Fresh basil for serving
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook 4–5 minutes until soft.
- Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, chickpeas, and broth. Simmer 10–12 minutes to marry the flavors.
- Pour in the coconut milk and lemon juice, then stir in the spinach. Simmer another 3–5 minutes until creamy and the spinach wilts.
- Season to taste, then finish with basil and serve
Notes
- For extra protein, stir in white beans or serve with a side of high-protein sourdough or grilled cheese.
- If you prefer less spice, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
- Soup will naturally thicken as it sits — add a splash of broth when reheating if needed.
- Fresh basil at the end really elevates the flavor, don’t skip it if you have it.
