Spanish Garbanzo Bean Soup: A hearty blend of garbanzo beans, vegetables, chorizo, and spices simmered to perfection, offering warmth and flavor in every spoonful

  • Total Time: 3 hours

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag of garbanzo beans, dried
  • 1 bone of ham, with a good portion of ham still on it
  • 1 bell pepper, green, diced
  • 1 onion, medium, diced
  • 1 small can of tomato paste
  • 1 package (4 sausages) of chorizo, Smoked Spanish Chorizo sausages – NOT Mexican chorizo but the smoked Spanish Chorizo sausage that come in casings. I get them at Whole Foods.
  • paprika, to taste
  • garlic, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare beans
    Rehydrate the garbanzo beans either overnight in fridge or using the quick boil method on package. Set aside.
  2. Prepare ham and broth
    Boil ham bone in large pot until meat falls off bone. Set bone aside
  3. Pull off all usable meat and dice into bite size pieces.
  4. Toss a few bites to dogs that are drooling at your feet.
  5. Strain the broth through cheesecloth and return to pot.
  6. Add diced ham to pot of broth.
  7. Add
    Add diced bell pepper and onions. Add can of tomato paste or sauce – whichever you have on hand and prefer. Paste will give a slightly stronger tomato taste.
  8. Add chorizo
    Chop Chorizo’s into rounds. Add to pot.
  9. Season
    Add in paprika and garlic – I’ve never measured but it’s probably a teaspoon of each – add to your taste.
  10. Add beans
    Add the rehydrated garbanzo beans.
  11. Simmer
    Cover and simmer for about two hours.
  12. Set
    Let cool for a very long time – it retains heat forever and gets better the next day.

Notes

You can use 1 small can tomato paste or 1 small can tomato sauce – depends on how ‘tomatoey’ you like your soup. Either works and I’ve used both depending on what I have in the cupboard. You can also use the ‘flavored’ tomato sauces such as garlic or roasted tomato
