Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Prep all the veggies by washing and chopping them. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then set aside.
Mix all the spices together: smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper.
In a large pot, heat up olive oil over medium high heat. Once hot, add chopped onions, celery and carrots, reduced heat to medium, and cook stirring often for 5 minutes.
Then add and mix in minced garlic cloves, and the seasoning mix. Cook for 1 minute.
Add in the crushed tomatoes and cauliflower florets and stir them in. Cook for another minute.
Then add the broth, water and bay leaves to pot. Turn heat back up to high and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes uncovered, stirring from time to time.
After 15 minutes, add the chickpeas and chopped potatoes, continue cooking for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender when poked with a fork.
Add the spinach and lemon juice, stir them in and cook for about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, and portion in bowls. Sprinkle a little fresh parmesan, parsley, and adjust salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Notes

Broth: add a little more broth (or water) if the soup feels too thick to your taste. I like to add water to the carton on broth and shake it to get all of it.
