Heat ¼ C of water in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and bell pepper. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, tomato paste, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne.
Add the broth, green beans, mushrooms, and chickpeas and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley, lemon and raisins and cook 5 minutes longer. Taste to adjust the seasonings and serve.
