Making this now, but wondering if I freeze it, should I omit steps 8 and 9 until thawed and heated, or should I add the spinach before freezing?

Hi there! I would add the spinach when you reheat it each time so it keeps its texture. Let us know how you go with the recipe, hope you enjoy it!

I just made a massive stockpot full of this soup (I rehydrated 5 kg of chickpeas yesterday :D ), and it is delicious. I substituted the canned tomatoes for fresh tomatoes, which I put through my blender. Most likely it tastes slightly different than intended, but I am really enjoying it!
Also, I found that the soup really thickened up overnight, so don't worry about it being too thin when you take it off the heat. As long as the flavour is there, it will only get better by the next day.

So glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Fresh tomatoes sound like a delicious substitution :)

This looks amazing but I'm in the UK, any suggestions for a substitute for Trader Joe's fire-roasted diced tomatoes? How about if I roasted some cherry tomatoes instead and added extra chilies?

Hi Kimberly! You could certainly use roasted cherry tomatoes, however it might be easier to buy a can of diced tomatoes and add some freshly roasted green chilies and a bit of paprika. Please let us know what you end up using, and how it turns out! x

Thanks so much for the suggestion, I just used a can of chopped tomatoes and chucked in an extra chile, it was delicious!

Honestly it was delicious, the boyfriend loved it too so clearly a winner.
I think I might try it next time with chipotle chilies and smoked paprika, not that it needed it but just as an experiment. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for such a great recipe!

I am thinking that 1 pint of lemon zest is a typo? otherwise making this soup happen today!

Can't believe we didn't catch that- that is meant to be 1 pinch of lemon zest. Thanks for pointing it out to us, and please let us know what you think of the soup! We love feedback.
