Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup black garbanzo beans
  • Smoked ham hock
  • ½ lb smoked ham from the hock
  • 2 cured chorizo
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 small head of garlic
  • 1 white onion
  • 2 Tbsp Spanish paprika
  • 1 lb red potatoes

Method
 

  1. Soak the garbanzo beans for 12 or more hours. Drain.
  2. Assemble your ingredients and dice the onions
  3. Put the beans, hock, ham, chorizo, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and paprika in a soup pot
  4. Cook for 4-6 hours
  5. 40 minutes before serving, remove the ham hock, ham, and chorizo
  6. After cooling, slice the chorizo, cube the ham, and add them back into the soup with the potatoes.
  7. Either add the potatoes 30 minutes before serving, or over pre-cooked potatoes when done - a household member is doing keto, so we are adding potatoes at the end for those who want them
