STEP #4: Drain and rinse chickpeas and add them to the soup, along with diced sweet potatoes.
STEP #5: Simmer the soup for about 10 more minutes until the sweet potatoes are al dente.

Crockpot Instructions
To make this in a crockpot, simply follow step #1 by sauteing onions. Add all ingredients to a large cooker and allow to cook on low for 2 hours. This will allow the flavors plenty of time to blend and become more powerful.

This sounds/looks delicious. It’s winter; where many of us reside gathering fresh spinach is not an option. For me, replacing spinach with frozen, organic greens would be the change. Yes, defrosting and squeezing out the liquid first before adding to the soup goes w/o saying.
