- 4 Garlic Cloves (Finely Chopped)
- 1 Large Onion (Chopped)
- 2 Cups Chicken Or Vegetable Broth
- 1 Large Carrot (Peeled & Chopped)
- 1 Celery Stalk (Diced)
- 1 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 4 Cups Canned Diced Tomatoes (With Juice)
- 1 Cup Cooked Chickpeas (Rinsed & Drained)

- In large-size pot heat olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic. Sauté 5 minutes until onions are soft. Be careful not to brown the garlic. Add broth, tomato paste, diced tomatoes with juice, kosher salt, pepper, and oregano. Bring to boil. Add carrots and celery. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. If your soup is too thick add a bit of water. Allow to gently boil 10 minutes. Add pasta. Cover and gently boil 15 minutes longer until pasta is tender. Add green beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, and spinach. Cook 5 minutes more.
