How to prepare this recipe
We fried in a pressure cooker oil, tomato, onion and garlic.
When almost finished add the paprika so it does not burn.
When ready add the chickpeas, diced potato and spinach, washed and pre-cut, if necessary add 1 or 2 glasses of water.
We'll let cook about 20 minutes, with the closed pot, add the beans will open. What we aque done this way so that the beans do not break as quickly cook the chickpeas, and if we add to the time they could completely unravel.
Boil a few minutes with open pot stirring occasionally to mix everything perfectly with the rest of the ingredients.
And we have the soup ready to serve.
