Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 1 cup chopped kale or spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the chickpeas and kale or spinach. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the kale or spinach is tender.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (if using) and with crusty bread for dipping (if using).

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a Parmesan cheese rind to the soup while it simmers. Remove the rind before serving. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
