Sauté Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Incorporate Potatoes

Add Broth and Seasonings

Pour in the vegetable broth, add the bay leaves, salt, black pepper, thyme, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Simmer the Soup

Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

Add Optional Ingredients

If desired, stir in the chopped spinach and chickpeas. Let cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Adjust Seasoning

Remove the bay leaves. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add lemon juice for brightness.
