It's what's for dinner!
Ingredients
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
oil of your choice
500g potatoes, chopped into 2cm cubes
1x 14.5oz can of chickpeas, drained
1 sprig of fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried rosemary
2 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
1 quart chicken stock (+ 1 15oz can, because I use more of everything)
150g kale, roughly chopped (Buy Baby Kale = no chopping required)
80g chorizo, finely sliced (= 2 packages ie 4 total Sausages)
How to make it...
1. In a large, deep saucepan, fry the onion and garlic in 1tbsp oil and a splash of water.
Cook for around 7-8 minutes or until softened.
2. Add the chickpeas, chopped potatoes and herbs into the pan with the chicken stock. Stir, cover, bring to a boil and then leave to simmer for around 30 minutes.
3. If using loose as opposed to dried herbs, remove these from the pan now.
Next, add the kale and cook for another 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, gently fry the chorizo in a pan for several minutes until it starts to release it's oil. Finally, add the chorizo with any remaining bits of fat to the soup.
Feel free to top up with a little boiling water if the stock has reduced too much.
This serves 4 and is particularly comforting on a cold day!
And my brain got whiplash going from metric to imperial measurements and back again.

Re: Picky eaters
What’s the difference between Spanish and Mexican chorizo?
Also, for the longest time Pizza Hut was the world’s largest buyer of kale.
They didn’t even serve it, they just used it as decor on their pizza buffet.

Spanish chorizo, lots of garlic and paprika. It's drier, and cured.

It is good! I have ~ 4 large servings, and I'm all about left-overs.
Yes, Spanish chorizo.
I realized as I was getting ready to post the recipe that much of it was imperial, and went back and changed a lot of it. For instance:
This: "1x 14.5oz can of chickpeas, drained"
was originally: "1 400g tin of chickpeas"
