Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a soup pot set over medium-high heat, render the chourico until it exudes its flavorful oils. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

02

Step
0 mins

Incorporate the garbanzo beans (with their liquid), diced tomatoes, sweet potato, vegetable broth, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer gently until the sweet potatoes yield to the touch, approximately 10 minutes.

03

Step
10 mins

Stir in the baby spinach and continue cooking until just wilted, about 5 minutes. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.

For a vegan variation, substitute the chourico with an equal amount of soyrizo or another plant-based chorizo alternative.
Feel free to enrich the soup with other vegetables like butternut squash or kale. For a richer depth of flavor, consider using roasted sweet potatoes.
Adjust the amount of chourico to control the spiciness of the soup. A pinch of smoked paprika can further enhance the smoky notes.
