Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
kosher salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup sliced small carrots
2 14 -ounce cans low-sodium diced fire-roasted tomatoes

2. Add the paprika and carrots to the remaining onion mixture in the skillet and cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and chickpeas; bring to a rapid simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 6 minutes.
