Hi everyone! So happy you all have been enjoying the #longevityrecipes series! I’ve been trying to find ways to tweak some of my favorite Korean dishes to maximize the micronutrients (like fiber) that help promote longer and healthier living and kimchi seemed like such a natural choice! This kimchi minestrone was almost like a kimchi chives with a Mediterranean twist! Give it a try—I think you will love it!

1 3/4 cup chickpeas
1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp dried oregano
Salt & pepper
1/2 cup diced red onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup diced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced potato
1/2 cup chopped kimchi
1 tbsp gochujang
1 cup crushed tomatoes
1 3/4 cup white beans
6 cups vegetable broth
1 cup spinach
4 to 5 basil leaves

Preheat oven to 450 F. Mix together 1/2 cup chickpeas with paprika, garlic powder, and 1 tbsp oregano, as well as 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. Spread out on a baking sheet and bake for about 11-15 mins until they are dark brown. Remove and set aside. To a large pot or Dutch oven, add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Next add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Stir until onions begin to grow translucent (3 mins). Season with a little salt and pepper. Add potatoes, kimchi (with juice), and gochujang, tomatoes, together with another tablespoon of oregano. Stir until all veggies are evenly coated with gochujang. Add vegetable broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until potatoes are fork tender (~15 mins). Add beans and cook for another 3 minutes. Throw in fresh spinach and cook for another minute. Garnish with fresh basil and a twist of black pepper.
