2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced

½ cup diced carrots
½ cup diced celery
3 cloves garlic, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

2 bay leaves
5 cups chicken broth
½ pound linguica sausage, diced
½ pound chorizo sausage, diced
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can garbanzo beans, with liquid

Steps:

Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat until it sizzles, about 1 minute. Add potatoes, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir for another 2 to 3 minutes.
