2. Cook the Bacon and Vegetables:
- Spray a large pot with cooking spray oil and heat over medium heat.

- Add the finely chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add Tomatoes and Chicken Gravy:
- Pour in the canned tomatoes, including their juice, and stir to combine.
- Add the chicken gravy and bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Cook the Chicken:

5. Add Chickpeas and Green Beans:

7. Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.

Tips:

- Make sure to dice the vegetables uniformly for even cooking and better texture.

- To enhance the flavor, consider using smoked bacon.
