This soup is inspired by Spain’s spinach and garbanzos, a thick stew of chickpeas and spinach. In this version, we’ve used healthful collard greens in lieu of spinach. Spanish smoked paprika is the key to the rich, smoky tomato broth that brings a ton of flavour to a set of simple ingredients. The layers of flavour develop with each addition of ingredients, and the result is a robust soup that’s sure to warm up any frosty winter day.
Glorious greens
Be sure to remove the tough central rib of the collard green leaf. Lay the leaf on a board and cut leaf on each side of the rib to remove.
