• In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion.

• Cook, stirring occasionally until the onion begins to caramelize, about 10 minutes.

• Add the garlic, paprika, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring, until everything is well-combined, about 1 minute.

• Add the broth and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.

• Once most of the broth evaporates and the mixture is thick, stir in the water, tomatoes, and chickpeas.

• Add the kale and cook until it wilts about 1 minute.
