Spicy Chorizo & Bean Soup

Food Ingredients:
1 large white onion, peeled & finely sliced 2 fat cloves of garlic, peeled & finely cut up 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, the Picanté version 2 celery stalks, cleaned & some treads pulled away , cut up fine slices 2 tomatoes, washed, dried, cut up chunks 1 tin = 400 gr. of large white beans, salt washed off & thoroughly drained black pepper 1 litre of chicken stock 150 grs of finely sliced Chorizo, the mild version 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Recipe preparation:
1 Take a medium cooking pot & place on a high heat. Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pot. Heat up. When hot, add the chorizo slices in a single layer & fry for about 2 to 4 minutes until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper. I use the same pot & pour the other tablespoon of olive oil into the pot. Fry again the chorizo slices. Drain on kitchen paper. Set aside. 2 Using the same pot, you see that the oil is orange in colour, heat up on medium. When hot, add the chopped up onion & the chopped celery stalks. Fry until tender. This takes about 6 to 8 minutes. Stit from time to time. 3 Now, add the chopped garlic & the smoked Picante paprika. Stir well. Fry 1 to 2 minutes until it smells lovely! 4 Now, add the chopped tomatoes & stir well. Fry for another minute. 5 Add the chicken stock & the chorizo slices. Bring to the boil. When boiling, turn the heat down. Simmer for 10 minutes. 6 Now, add the drained large beans. Cook for 5 minutes. 7 When the soup is ready, taste. It will be a bit spicy & so good,…mmmmm… 8 I mix the soup for 3/4 ! Then you will have a slighter thicker soup with pieces of chorizo floating in your soup. I added 3 grinds of black pepper. 9 Enjoy!
