Instructions
1. In a large pot, saute the onion and garlic until slightly browned. Add tomato paste and stir continuously for a couple of minutes. Add diced potatoes, ginger, salt and pepper and stir-fry for 2 or 3 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
2. Add the broth, stir well and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
3. 10 minutes before the end of cooking time, add the chickpeas and spinach. Cut the hard-boiled eggs in quarters and add to the pot. Simmer an additional 10 minutes, covered. Adjust seasoning if necessary. We added some chili powder for a little spicy kick at the end.
