This is one of those soups that comes together in about 25 minutes but tastes like it simmered all day. Chickpeas provide substance, spinach adds a boost of green, and curry powder ties everything together with warm, aromatic flavor. Keep cooked chickpeas in the pantry and you can make this any night.
