½ cup daikon, chopped
2 small potatoes, cubed
1 peeled tomato, cut into 4 pieces
1 small fennel bulb, cored and sliced

½ teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves
2 cardamom pods
2 bay leaves
A handful of spinach, thoroughly washed
8 cups of water

Instructions:
1. Ensure all vegetables are thoroughly washed. Soak chickpeas overnight and drain before use.
2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add garlic cloves and continue to sauté for a couple of minutes.
3. Add green beans, chickpeas, lentils, split green peas, carrots, daikon, potatoes, tomato, fennel, bell pepper, zucchini, and the jalapeño to the pot.
