1 serving
1 cup Sweet Potato Soup Base, defrosted if frozen
½ – ¾ cup water or vegetable stock

ingredients
steps
- Pour soup base into a small saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in ½ cup water and cook until soup is bubbling hot, 3-4 minutes. Add more water if you prefer thinner soup. Reduce heat to low, cover, and keep hot.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Slice through chorizo casing and squeeze sausage into skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until chorizo’s fat starts to melt, 1-2 minutes. Add chickpeas and cook until the chorizo and chickpeas brown, 4-6 minutes. Add the kale and stir-fry until kale wilts slightly and brightens in color, 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the soup base into a soup bowl, top with the chorizo mixture, and eat.
