Hearty soup with spicy chorizo and healthy veggies.
Ingredients:
  • 1250.00 gm water
  • 250g dried borlotti beans
  • 1 leek, thinly sliced, washed, dried
  • 1020.00 gm vegetable liquid stock
  • 400g can diced tomatoes
  • 2 zucchini, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 3 sticks celery, chopped
  • 3 chorizo sausages
  • 150g silverbeet, chopped
Instructions:
  • Place beans in a large bowl and generously cover with cold water. Let them soak for 6 to 8 hours.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté leek and garlic in oil until soft, about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and rinse beans before adding them to the pan, along with stock, water, and tomatoes. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes, partially covered.
  • Combine zucchini, carrots, celery, and chorizo in a saucepan. Simmer covered for 20 minutes. Remove chorizo with tongs. Let it cool. Stir in silverbeet and take off heat.
  • - Finely dice chorizo and add it back to the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. For a quick version, place beans in a large microwave-safe bowl with enough water to cover them. Microwave covered on HIGH for 5 minutes, then on MEDIUM-LOW/DEFROST for 30 minutes. Drain, rinse, and drain again.
