SOPA DE GARBANZOS - CHICKPEA SOUP



Sopa De Garbanzos - Chickpea Soup image

When my mom and I were cleaning out one of her kitchen cabinets, we found a box of recipes that she had clipped from newspapers and magazines. This one came from an article in the Houston Post (no longer in circulation), October 1989. The article was about traditional Mexican soup dishes and contained several wonderful and authentic recipes. This filling soup can be made vegetarian by using vegetable stock and omitting the bacon.

SOPA DE GARBANZOS (CHICK PEA SOUP)



Sopa De Garbanzos (Chick Pea Soup) image

My husband's favorite way to flavor beans is with pigs' feet. I kid you not. Actually, they flavor the beans very well. He eats the meat, I do not. We use them with kidney beans always. This recipe is translated from "Cocina Criolla" by Carmen Aboy Valldejuli, originally published in 1954 in Spanish. My husband calls it the Puerto Rican Cookbook. Times do not include overnight soaking of the beans. NOTE: If using salted pigs feet, they should also be soaked overnight, in a separate bowl (and rinsed and drained)

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/3 lb dried garbanzo beans, soaked overnight in 4 cups salted water
1 lb pig's foot
1 slice bacon, chopped
1 ounce ham, chopped
1 chorizo sausage or 1 sweet Italian sausage, cut into 1/2 inch rounds
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped (about 1/3 a pepper)
1/4 cup red pepper, chopped (about 1/3 a pepper)
1/2 cup onion, chopped (about 1/2 a medium onion)
1 garlic clove, minced
6 cups water

2 fresh cilantro stems (leaves and stems) or 2 fresh parsley sprigs, chopped (leaves and stems)

1 lb cabbage, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Drain beans and set aside.
  • In a large Dutch oven (or pressure cooker), over medium heat, brown bacon to render some fat; add ham and sausage and brown them a little as well.
  • Add peppers and onion; saute until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and saute a minute or so.
  • Add water, pumpkin or squash (okay, pumpkin is squash), cilantro or parsley, potatoes, and cabbage; stir in tomato paste.

POTAJE DE GARBANZOS (CUBAN GARBANZO BEAN STEW)



Potaje de Garbanzos (Cuban Garbanzo Bean Stew) image

This is my take on a super-comforting Cuban meal my dad has made for years. It is a great way to use pantry ingredients and can be served with white rice for an even heartier option. Don't be afraid to make a big batch -- the sweet and smoky flavors get better the next day!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, medium diced
1 green pepper, medium diced
1 packet (1 1/2 teaspoons) Sazón seasoning mix with saffron
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons vino seco (see Cook's Note) or sherry cooking wine
Two 15-ounce cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and large diced
6 ounces Spanish chorizo, casing removed and chorizo cut into small chunks
White rice, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, green pepper, Sazón seasoning, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly darker in color and thickened, about 1 minute. Add the vino seco to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the garbanzo beans, potatoes, chorizo and 5 cups of water. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, then cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the chickpeas are very soft, about 20 minutes. Once the potatoes have softened, use the back of a wooden spoon to crush some of them against the side of the pot to thicken the stew. Serve the stew over hot rice, if desired.

Tips:

  • Soak the chickpeas overnight or for at least 8 hours. This will help them to cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and spinach.
  • Add some spices to the soup. This will help to give it a more flavorful and complex taste. Some good options include cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or rice. This will help to make it a more filling meal.

Conclusion:

Sopa de garbanzos, or chickpea soup, is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
