The Night Before: heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and saute the onion until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and saute for 2 minutes longer. Store the sauteed onion, grated ginger, and prepared greens in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Store the lime zest separately in the fridge.
In the Morning: oil the crock of your slow cooker. Combine the sauteed onion, ginger, greens, spices, water, and bouillon in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, puree the soup with an immersion blender or in batches in a countertop blender, being careful of splatters of hot soup, until smooth. add the chickpeas, nondairy creamer, lime zest, and salt to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 30 more minutes, until the beans are heated through. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Serve over rice.

AuthorNote: you can use any combination of greens here, such as spinach, Swiss chard, turnip greens, and collards, or anything that's plentiful where you live.
Variations:
Add 1 or 2 chopped mild chiles during the last 30 minutes of cooking to give it more heat.
Don't like chickpeas? Substitute 1/2 package (15 ounces) soft, firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and then cut into cubes. It will mimic a popular dish called saag paneer.
