Pretty simple, hearty soup, not that thick - yet another combo of spinach, tomato, chickpea, onion, garlic....  Modified with less chickpeas and added carrots

1/4 cup olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or more to taste

2 cups diced fresh or crushed canned tomatoes (1 can)

3 carrots, diced

1 can chickpeas,drained (2 cans)

3 to 4 cups vegetable broth

1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

4 cups fresh spinach, rinsed, drained, and chopped

Choose a large pot. Heat the olive oil in it and add onion, garlic, cinnamon, paprika, cumin and cayenne.

Cook, stirring occasionally 5 minutes or until the onions wilt.

Add tomatoes, chickpeas, vegetable broth and sugar.

Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let the soup simmer for 45 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.

Just before serving, place equal quantities of spinach into 6 soup bowls. Ladle hot soup on top of the spinach.
