Directions
Sauté the onion and garlic, covered, over low heat (they will cook in their own juices) until the onion is translucent.
Add the milk and raise heat to medium, and cook just until boiling, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to prevent boiling over, add chickpeas, spinach, and spices, and continue to cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted.
Remove from heat. Place 1½ cups of the soup into a blender or food processor and puree.
Return purée to soup, stir well, and serve hot.
Rinse spinach in warm salted water, drain, and shred or chiffonade before using.
