I think you could change out the chickpeas to any white beans. You could cut back on the sodium by using dry beans not can. Or look for no added salt beans, and same for tomatoes.
And for those that like peppers, mushrooms, zucchini I'm sure they could be added too. An easy way to up your veggies. I might even add a sprinkle of Cayenne Pepper just to add a bit of zip.
