Chorizo and Cannellini Bean Soup

I was looking for something super quick for lunch. This was perfect as the soup is warming, packed full of flavour and very filling.

Serves 4

2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 onion, peeled and chopped
500g (1lb 2 oz) floury potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 litre (1 3/4 pints) hot vegetable stock
250g (9oz) chorizo sausage, roughly diced
410g can cannellini beans, drained
sea salt and pepper
2 tbsp chopped parsley, to serve

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic, onion and potatoes, and cook gently for about 10 mins until golden. Stir in the paprika and stock and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 mins,
2. Stir in the chorizo sausage and cannellini beans and cook for 5 mins or so until piping hot. Season with a little salt and plenty of black pepper, then ladle into warm bowls and serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.

Serve with warm crusty bread
