Sb Diet Phase 1 Spicy Chickpea and Onion Soup

• 2 red onions, sliced finely
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon harissa (use (to taste)
• 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans canned chick-peas, drained
• 14 12 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• handful arugula leaf
• handful baby spinach leaves
• salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. Heat some olive oil and a knob of butter in a saucepan over a low heat and once the butter has melted add the onions and garlic- stir and then gently sautee for a good 20 minutes or until the onions have softened and become golden.
2. Stir in harissa and cook for a further 5 minutes.
3. Add the tomatos and continue to simmer on a low heat for a further 10 minutes to allow the flavor to intensify.
4. Stir in chickpeas and enough water or vegetable stock to cover the mixture.
5. Simmer for 15 minutes- the chickpeas are already cooked so all you are doing is getting them up to temperature and absorbing the flavors.
6. Toss in a couple handfuls of arugula and baby spinach leaves- stir and then taste, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
7. The soup is now ready to serve.
