Ingredients 0/9

5 ounces Portuguese chourico, diced 1 red onion, diced 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, with liquid 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced 4 cups vegetable broth 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 5 ounces baby spinach salt and ground black pepper

Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

This soup is packed with bold, smoky flavors that warm you from the inside out. It’s simple to prepare and comes together quickly, making it perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends. The combination of hearty ingredients makes every spoonful satisfying and comforting.

Directions

Cook the chourico in a large pot over medium-high heat until it starts to release its oil and gets a bit crispy. Toss in the chopped onion and cook everything together, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften—this should take about 5 minutes. Next, add the garbanzo beans, diced tomatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, and thyme. Crank the heat up to bring the soup to a boil, then lower it to medium-low. Cover the pot and let it simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, which usually takes around 10 minutes. Once the potatoes are soft, stir in the baby spinach and let it cook for another 5 minutes until the greens wilt. Give the soup a taste and season with salt and pepper as you like before serving.

Storing Food Safely

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to preserve the texture of the sausage and vegetables. This soup also freezes well—thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
