This chicken and spinach soup is hearty and delicious. With potatoes, garbanzo beans, roasted red peppers, and Parmesan cheese, it's a meal in a bowl!

Ingredients

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
4 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 large potatoes, cubed
1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach
1/2 cup diced roasted red peppers
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Bring chicken, water, and chicken stock to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside to cool. Reserve the cooking liquid.
2 While the chicken is cooling, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, then strain the reserved cooking liquid into the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
3 Cut cooked chicken into cubes and add to simmering potatoes; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in garbanzo beans, spinach, and roasted red peppers; simmer for 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.
