Healthy Recipes Healthy Soup Recipes Chickpea, Chorizo & Spinach Soup 4.6 (5) 5 Reviews Chorizo lends this soup inspired by ingredients popular around the Mediterranean a smoky paprika flavor, and since it's sautéed first, much of the fat is drained away. Be sure to buy dry-cured, salami-style Spanish chorizo, not soft, raw Mexican-style sausage by the same name.
