Surprisingly Delicious and Hearty Chickpea, Spinach and Chicken Soup (Mediterranean Soup)

In my wife’s quest to lose weight, she bought a stepping stool which came with a recipe listing for different foods that were supposed to be both low in calories and filling at the same time. I still enjoy many of the recipes that came from their diet and really enjoy this soup that tastes great both hot and cold. In fact, I sometimes enjoy it even more the day after right out of the refrigerator. If you want to replace the chicken thighs with pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, that is also a wonderful tasting substitution that takes less time and less work to cook.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 chicken thighs
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 cup white wine.
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups raw spinach
