This soup reminds me of something you would find in an old country restaurant; potatoes, spinach, and sausage. This makes a great meal.
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup sweet onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 lb diced ham
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh peeled tomatoes, or use 1 19 oz can tomatoes
  • 1 19 oz can garbanzo beans
  • 1 15.9 oz can great northern beans
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 lb chorizo sausage or hot Italian sausage
  • 2 cups potatoes, washed, skin on, diced
  • 1/2 lb fresh spinach or 1 10 oz package of frozen spinach, thawed
  • Coarse ground salt to taste
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste

Method

In a large pot add olive oil and heat. Add onions and cook until tender. Add garlic and cook 1 or 2 more minutes on medium heat. Add ham and cook another 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes and beans including juices. Add stock and cumin, stir well and bring to a simmer. In a small pan, brown sausage; drain. Add sausage to soup along with chopped potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in chopped spinach and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer 5 more minutes.

 

Notes: A little smokey, a little spicy, and very substantial. Soak it up with some crusty bread and wash it down with a bracing mug of beer. It really makes for a stick to your ribs combination. Great comfort food for fall and winter time.
