4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon of paprika

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the onion, maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the garlic and spices and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the chickpeas, zucchini, potatoes, tomatoes (including their juices), and broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring a few times, for 20 minutes or until the potatoes begin to soften.

Before serving, mix in the herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper. ENJOY!
