Heat the remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower, garlic, and chickpeas and cook for an additional minute.
Add the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper and cook for an additional minute before adding the roasted vegetables to the pot. Stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 30 minutes.
Add the spinach and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and zest and serve.
Note: Cook once eat 2x - This soup is a great way to utilize leftover roasted vegetables. Simply start the recipe at the stage of sautéing the onion. Add some rotisserie chicken for a hearty meal.
