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.

The story behind this recipe
This recipe it´s a tradicional food here in my Region, Murcia, in the south of Spain.
Tradicionally this part of the country was the area of production of all the vegetables and fruitsof Spain, and most of the people who lived here, were people with a deep conection with the earth.
This comunity are the Huertanos, and we like to work the fields like our ancester did, trying to live without lose the nature and tradicional live.
In the past this region was so poor, so this kind of recipes were so accesible to everyone and very popular.
My grandmother is the one who prepare this dish, and I almost cry everytime that I try it. It´s delicious.

I am an amateur photographer from the time when I was given my first camera. I have always felt the need to capture in pictures all that caught my attention, not only as an artistic exercise, but rather as a physiological need for eternal remembrance. Seeing the pictures I've done, I'm able to travel back to that time, I am able to feel what I felt at the time, have a picture is to establish a connection point with my memories I know that you will never lose. And the best thing is to share these experiences with those around us, is a human need that we all have. I think it should be chosen because for me photography is not a simple care and patience exercise, to me it's something deeper, something magical that captures not only what is photography itself, but a part of you, a piece of your soul.
