Method

  1. Put a medium pan on the heat and tip in the tomatoes, followed by a can of water. While the tomatoes are heating, quickly chop the chorizo into chunky pieces (removing any skin) and shred the cabbage.
  2. Pile the chorizo and cabbage into the pan with the chilli flakes and chickpeas, then crumble in the stock cube. Stir well, cover and leave to bubble over a high heat for 6 mins or until the cabbage is just tender. Ladle into bowls and eat with crusty or garlic bread.

Making it Indian

For an Indian version of this spicy soup, use some cooked chicken and 1 tsp of curry paste instead of the chorizo.

    As many others have said, this as an beautifully versatile dish. Those who think it's too bland have most likely used bland/cheapish chorizo. Gently frying it also improves the flavour - without you having to add the fat after frying. Just don't crisp the slices of chorizo too much as you still want some chewyness. This is also brilliant for quick meals for the army of friends who descend on you without notice.

    Very tasty and filling start to my 'Only having soup for dinner diet'! I added a little smoked paprika for an extra smokey flavour. Will definately be having this again but maybe with some differnt ingrediants next time.

    Lovely - followed other people's suggestion to add celery and pepper to make it even more filling and it was delicious. Makes a filling lunch on its own.

    Great recipe, nice and quick too. I didn't fancy cabbage but it worked very nicely with spinach and celery added a lovely crunch.

    The best spanish chef´s says, the best recipe are you use jus 3 to 5 ingridients, but with high quality....One of them is this, if you hide with much ingridiente a good product could be a waste the food.....The cook it´s simple, with no more 5 ingridients you can cook excelent dishes.
