Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces chorizo sausage
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups garbanzo beans (chickpeas), canned
• 1 large russet potato
• 1 cup roasted red bell pepper, jarred
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Slice the chorizo into thin rounds and sauté it in the pot until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Step 3

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and cook until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute to release the flavors of the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and add the garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed). Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Peel and dice the russet potato into 1/2-inch cubes. Add the potato pieces to the pot and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potato is tender.

Step 7

Dice the roasted red bell pepper and stir it into the soup along with the cooked chorizo. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 8

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice right before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnished with extra parsley or a drizzle of olive oil.
