spinach garbonzo bean soup

I got this idea from http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/02/chickpea-garbanzo-bean-soup-recipe-with.html I changed it a bit.

Easy/ nice flavor makes 4 servings


2 cups of garbanzo beans (cooked)
3 cups of the liquid you cooked the garbanzo beans in (I save liquid it is better than Chicken broth and vegan--) or you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth.
1/2 chopped onion
4-5 cloves minced garlic
1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes with juice
4 cups baby spinach (cut as small as you like)
1/2 tsp Worcester sauce (they make a vegan one too)
pepper
salt (optional)
3 large basil leaves

Saute onions 5 minutes in a bit of water. Add garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes. Combine beans, broth, tomatoes with juice, and onion and garlic. Cook 30 minutes. Add cut spinach, pepper and salt. Cook about 15 minutes. Add basil and cook 2 minutes more

We will be trying this one, my spinach is growing well and it will be a treat to eat in this manner. By the way, our helpful kitty that looks like yours is only a few years old. Hope your kitty lasts even longer being 15.
