It may seem unusual to crave soup in the summertime but my love of comfort food knows no season. It has been a great summer thus far with lots of family time and more to come in the coming week. Unfortunately with all the comings and goings, there isn't too much time to cook. Its hard to find the time and we end up out all the time. It's certainly making it hard to be healthy. I've got some time today to actually plan out some meals for a few days this week so hopefully I'll have more recipes to share soon. With this recipe from Real Simple I used kale instead of Swiss chard and opted for kielbasa instead of chorizo....very happy with both choices. A new staple in the Lilley home.
T. olive oil
8 oz. chorizo, sliced
2 carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
kosher salt and black pepper
1 T. tomato paste
4 c. chicken broth
1/2 c. faro
1 15 oz. can chickpeas
1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to plate.
Add the carrots, onion, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper to pot. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, 4-5 minutes
Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it is slightly darkened, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the broth, faro, and 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the faro is just tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the chickpeas, chard, sausage, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Simmer until the chard is tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
