Ingredients
- 190g pack Cooks’ Ingredients Cooking Chorizo, cut into small pieces
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 x 400g cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 225g Pome dei Moro Tomatoes, quartered
- 2 x 500g pouches chicken stock
- 2 British Blacktail Medium Free Range Eggs
- 200g Essential Spring Greens, woody stalks discarded, leaves thinly sliced
- ½ lemon, juice
- ⅓ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves chopped
Method
Put the chorizo in a large saucepan and place over a medium-high heat. Allow the fat to melt, stirring often, until crisp and golden, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan.
Add the onion to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and chickpeas and fry for 3-4 minutes, until they absorb some fat. Add the tomatoes and stock with the chorizo, bring everything to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, gently drop the eggs into a pan of boiling water, then cook for 8 minutes. When ready, run under cold water for 2 minutes, peel and finely chop. Add the spring greens into the soup and cook for 2 minutes more, then squeeze in the lemon juice and season generously with salt. Divide between bowls, then scatter over the chopped egg and the parsley to serve.
