This warm chorizo kale soup is an absolute hit with the family. Chickpeas and kale keep it grounded in healthy-eating — despite the sausage — and you’ll find it filling, delicious, and flavorful.
Nicely wilted, your freshly harvested kale really shines in this soup. Plus garlic, bay leaves, and a touch of cayenne to make it exciting.
This chorizo and kale soup recipe requires quite a bit of prep work because of the chickpeas, relying on an overnight soak and an hour and a half cook time. If this is too much work for you, buy your chickpeas cooked! Then just throw in and simmer until ready.
