Cooking Steps
- Quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch quarter-moons.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Chop tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large pot over medium heat.
- When hot, add garlic spread, then mirepoix. Season with half the garlic salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 3-4 min.
- Add garlic and tomatoes to the pot. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add stock powder and chickpeas with their liquid. Cook, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot, 30 sec.
- Add 1 1/2 cups (2 1/2 cups) water to the pot, then bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, add zucchini and remaining garlic salt. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 8-10 min.
- Meanwhile, finely chop parsley.
- Add pesto, half the parsley and half the Parmesan to a small bowl.
- When veggies are tender, add spinach and remaining parsley. Stir until spinach wilts, 1 min. Remove from heat. Season with pepper, then stir to combine. (TIP: If you prefer a lighter stew, add some more water, 1/4 cup at a time!)
- Divide soup between bowls.
- Swirl pesto mixture into each portion, then sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
