Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely diced
  • 300g carrots, finely diced
  • 2 celery sticks, finely diced
  • 200g white potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 75g mild Spanish chorizo ring, diced
  • 1 (400g) tin chopped Italian tomatoes
  • 2 vegetable stock pots, mixed with 1.2 litres boiling water
  • 100g sliced kale
  • 140g spaghetti, broken into small pieces
  • 30g grated pecorino romano

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan; fry the onion, carrot, celery, potato and chorizo over medium-high heat for 5 mins until starting to soften.

  • Step 2

    Stir in the tomatoes and stock; simmer for 10 mins. Add the kale and spaghetti; cover and cook for 15 mins. Keep warm over a low heat or reheat as needed.

  • Step 3

  • Step 4

    Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with the cheese crisps.
