Spanish-Style Chicken & Chickpea Soup

Clock

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 medium yellow squash, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup rinsed drained canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
  • 4 cups chicken bone broth
  • 1 cup packed coarsely chopped baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a 6-quart saucepot over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper, paprika and half the salt and black pepper and cook for 7 minutes or until vegetables are well browned and caramelized, stirring often (caramelizing here means to brown the natural sugars in the vegetables for sweeter and more complex flavors).
  2. Stir in the squash, chicken, chickpeas and remaining salt and black pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the broth and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until squash is tender. Stir in the spinach and cook for 2 minutes or until wilted. Season to taste.
