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.

    I made this dish for my family, i thickened it up and served it as a stew with cous cous and crusty bread. It went down a treat and is now my boyfriends favourite dish! I substituted the cabbage for courgettes and red peppers and also added some extra spice and lemon juice!!

    My husband and I have this alot as it is a very simple mid week dish. However, we use tinned chilli tomatoes, tinned chilli beans, mushrooms, red onion, red pepper and a ham stock cube. Serve it with rice and you have a nice warming Mexican dish. Enjoy!

    I tried this recipe today as I had some left over chorizio from making the chicken and chorizio jambalaya on this site (also lovely!). I left out the cabbage as I did not have any. I used a bit of corriander, added 2 garlic cloves, added 1 yellow peppar, substituted hot chilli powder for the chilli flakes and used cannelini beans as I did not have anything else. The result was lovely and so quick to make too.

    Great recipe. As suggested by others, quickly dry fried the chorizo first along with a chopped red pepper, and then added a spoon of smoked paprika. I didn't have any cabbage to hand so added a couple of blocks of frozen spinach - it was delicious. I've tried it with lentils too, still fab. Quick, easy, tasty, nutritious and not too expensive to make; brilliant!

    made this soup for dinner and it was a real winner.... hearty with great flavours coming through. I fried off some chopped scallions, red pepper, celery and garlic before frying the chorizo, paprika and chili flakes. also added tomato puree and finished with fresh parsley. this pot will easily serve 4 so I will have again for my lunch and freeze the rest. Really good recipe! thanks Goodfood.

    A friend cooked this for us, and added pork to it. A firm favourite for the slow cooker also!

    Fantastic and easy to make, as others have suggested this is very adaptable. Great to put together quickly if guests drop by and you need something good in a hurry

    I used cooking chorizo which I diced and fried off before adding the stock and tomatoes. I also added tomato puree and 'lazy chillis' instead of dried. Definitely a keeper!
