Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and sweat the thinly sliced onion and chopped garlic for 5 minutes over medium heat.
  2. Add the chouriço and let it colour for 2 minutes so it flavours the oil.
  3. Pour in the stock, the diced potatoes and the chickpeas. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for another 10 minutes, until the cabbage is tender.
  5. Blend about a third of the soup to make it creamy, then return everything to the pan.
  6. Season with salt, pepper and paprika, then serve piping hot with rustic bread.

Variations and tips

Lighter version. Replace the chouriço with 1 tbsp smoked paprika and add a little cumin.

With what you can find here. Use Spanish mild chorizo or smoked sausage cut into rounds.
