Ingredients

3 cups water
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 fully cooked Spanish chorizo links (3 ounces each), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup dried chickpeas or garbanzo beans
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup ditalini or other small pasta
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Place the water, celery, chorizo and chickpeas in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low until chickpeas are tender, 8-10 hours. Stir in tomatoes, pasta and salt; cook, covered, on high until pasta is tender, 15-20 minutes longer.

Can you freeze Chorizo and Chickpea Soup?

Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add broth or water if necessary.

Health tip

Chorizo is very flavorful, but it’s also high in fat. Using just a small amount, as in this dish, is a smart way to boost flavor without creating a high-fat soup.
