Chickpea and Chorizo Soup image

This simple Spanish-style Chickpea and Chorizo soup is a favorite at our house, making an appearance at least once a month (if not more!) during the chilly months. The recipe starts off simply--sliced Spanish-style chorizo sauteed with onions and garlic until fragrant. Then you add some rinsed canned chickpeas, tomatoes, a few spices, and chicken broth, and let the whole thing simmer for about half an hour or so. And that's really it! Serve it up right away or divide into batches for lunch tomorrow. This thing can be heated and reheated half a dozen times, and it always tastes fantastic. A chunk of crusty bread is optional, but definitely recommended.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound Spanish-style cured chorizo, sliced
1 large onion, diced
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon smoked Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne (optional)
Two 15-ounce cans low-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
One 36-ounce can whole tomatoes
1 quart low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chorizo and onion and cook until the chorizo crisps slightly and the onion softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, paprika, cumin and cayenne until combined. Stir in the chickpeas, tomatoes with their liquid and chicken broth until combined. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with the salt and black pepper. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.

I'm not a huge fan of chorizo, but I decided to give this soup a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The soup is delicious, and the chorizo is not overpowering at all. I will definitely be making this again.
