Servings: 4 people
- 600 gr cooked white beans
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 garlic minced
- 200 gr Spanish chorizo
- 400 gr Canned tomatoes
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 3 cup water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp thyme
- 1 chili
- Salt and Pepper
- Bacon optional
In a big pan, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and cook for a couple minutes, then add the garlic.
Add the chopped Spanish chorizo and stir until the “chorizo oil” impregnates the onions.
Add the canned tomatoes, the thyme, the vegetable broth and the chili. Simmer for a couple minutes (note 1)
Add the white beans, the water and season with salt and pepper. Let it boil for 15 minutes (note 2)
Serve and sprinkle with crispy bacon (my healthy fellows, this is optional)
- If you want a smooth soup, this is the moment to blend.
- The cooking time will depend on how hard or soft the beans are. For example, the canned white beans that I used were slightly undercooked. To get a perfect consistency, I cooked them for 15 minutes. If your beans are still hard, let it cook for longer and add water/vegetable soup to prevent running out of the liquid.
