Loved this soup. I put some chicken in my soup which I would do again. Next time I would go without potatoes.

Really enjoyed this! I would include less potato next time as it was quite filling with that plus the chickpeas, I would also chop the chorizo into small chunks rather than disks so you get more of it in a mouthful! Delicious.

Really tasty, I maybe used like 100 g of cavolo nero and I really appreciated having not too much leaf in the soup. Accidentally got chorizo without casing, but I fried it up separately and added it to the soup near the end and it was still great.

Very filling, wholesome dish. Used kale as couldn’t get cavolo nero. Very nourishing for an autumnal lunch.

Very comforting, healthy and tasty dish for the colder weather! To make it veggie, I replaced the chorizo with sun-dried tomatoes. For extra protein, next time I'll add hard-boiled egg to it. It'll definitely become a staple for me!

So delicious! Perfect autumn dish and fairly quick and easy to pull together. Good quality chicken stock makes this 😗👌! I added a roasted chicken breast for an extra protein hit. Sense this will become a staple in our house over the winter months.

Copied you with the chicken idea. Used regular kale as I couldn't find cavolo nero and added the chorizo at the start.

This was very tasty but I recommend leaving out one of the doses of salt. I also put in too much chilli but that’s my own fault.

Such a good autumn recipe - I recommend using good quality jarred chickpeas e.g. Bold Bean Co and pouring in the liquid from the jar too. I feel like this added a lot to the broth.

Delicious! I used regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes, so they didn’t hold their shape as well during cooking and resulted in a thicker stew as a result. Still delish. I also doubled the chorizo. Kept it as a topping to preserve its crisp. So good.

I loved this recipe, perfect for the fall. I subbed the cavolo nero for swiss chard, and finished cooking the sausage directly in the soup. I also used more than the 100g for something more filling.

I used quite lot more chorizo than 100g, and stirred it in rather than having as a topping and that works great too… Also I couldn’t get cavolo nero so used kale instead and was v nice 👍

Sounds delicious! Any ideas on how to replace the chorizo to make it veggie and still keep it flavourful?

You could use sun-dried tomatoes and it'd be delicious.

Can you swap out the chickpeas for say haricot beans?

Made this several times & love it. I tend to only use half the specified onion & still tastes amazing.

Simple - all the flavours - that dill at the end is a tiny bit of genius

Really delish. Great flavours but not too heavy
