Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes—don’t burn it, we’re not monsters.
Toss in garlic, cumin, paprika, and red pepper; cook until fragrant and sassy.
Stir in chickpeas, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a gentle boil while contemplating your life choices.
Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes so the flavors get to gossip.
Add spinach and cook until wilted—about 3 minutes. Stir like you mean it.
Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Garnish with parsley like a classy show-off.
Serve hot with crusty bread or judgment-free seconds.
