Lent of chick peas, cod, prawns and spinach stew

This lent of chick peas, cod, prawns and spinach stew is a favorite of my husband. At home we are very of soups and at this time of year I love to prepare them.

It is also very tasty, and because it carries everything a little, is probably my favorite. Do you dare? Because we will
