Spanish Sausage, Garbanzos and Spinach Soup

When you have a soup this rich and chunky, all you need are a few slices of crusty bread to make a totally satisfying meal. Bursting with Mediterranean flavors, this Spanish sausage, garbanzos and spinach soup takes only ten minutes of preparation and 20 minutes to cook.

It’s that filling? Try having a large bowl of this soup and see if you don’t feel full. Of course, you can have just a small bowl and treat it as a starter course.

What makes this soup so tasty? Two things. The Spanish sausage is the first. I used chorizo de Bilbao. A little goes a long, long way. Combine that with lots of tomatoes and good quality broth and the soup is a feast.

The second thing is broth. Good quality broth. Don’t think that because there’s ground pork, that’s enough to make a rich soup. Nope. Good broth comes from simmering bones and ground pork has no bones. So, don’t be tempted to substitute water for the broth. If you do, no amount of salt and pepper will enrich the soup the way that broth does.
