Add the chouriço and cayenne pepper.
Taste for salt and pepper and rectify.
Cover and simmer 1 to 3 hours, adding the red kidney beans 15 minutes before removing from the heat.
More stock or beef bouillon may be added if the liquid gets low during the simmer.

Recipe Tips

•

For enhanced flavor, sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil until they are translucent before adding other ingredients. This step deepens the flavors of the soup and prevents the raw taste of onions.

•

If you want a thicker soup, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste when you add the canned tomatoes. This will enrich the tomato flavor and improve the texture of your soup.

•

Avoid overcooking the cabbage; add it to the pot during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. This ensures it retains some crunch and doesn’t become overly soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for chouriço in this recipe?

If you can't find chouriço, you can substitute it with other sausage types like spicy Italian sausage or linguica. For a vegetarian option, you can use smoked tempeh or a blend of mushrooms and smoked paprika to give a similar depth of flavor.

How should I store leftovers of the soup, and how long will it last?

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months for longer storage. Just make sure to leave some room in the container for expansion when freezing.

What can I do if my soup is too thick during cooking?

If the soup becomes too thick while simmering, simply add additional brown stock or beef bouillon to reach your desired consistency. Stir well and allow it to simmer for a few more minutes to incorporate the added liquid.
