Calories: 375
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil , see note 1
- 1 Large Carrot , thinly sliced (1 cup heaped)
- ½ Onion , minced (3/4 cup)
- 1 Celery Stalk , finely diced (1/2 cup)
- 2 Garlic Cloves , pressed
- Spanish Chorizo Sausage , cut into chunks (140 grams), see note 2
- Cooked White Beans (560 grams - 400 grams drained)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable Stock (1 liter)
Instructions
- In a medium pot (at least 3-quart/3-liters), heat the oil. Add thinly sliced carrot, minced onion and finely diced celery. Saute for about 7-8 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Add pressed garlic and chorizo pieces and stir for about a minute or until the garlic releases its aroma. Then, add the rest of the ingredients – drained beans, oregano, salt, pepper and stock and mix well.
- Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer covered for 20 minutes or until the carrots are soft.
- Taste it and add more seasoning if needed.
- Serve warm!
Notes
- Olive oil can be substituted with sunflower or vegetable oil.
- Chorizo can be substituted with sausage of your choice (i.e. Polish kielbasa).
- Instead of oregano, you can use marjoram or basil.
- I used low sodium vegetable stock. You can also use chicken stock/broth or even beef broth, if you like. However, if using a classing stock (high in sodium), keep in mind that you will not need as much salt as I used, so I recommend adding salt at the very end to avoid over-seasoning.
