Method

Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the celery, onion and carrot over a low heat for 10 minutes until tender.

Add the garlic, rosemary and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the beans, tomatoes, 300ml water and the stock. Bring to the boil and add the kale. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until the kale wilts.

Add the chorizo, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve hot.

If you pour hot soup into a Thermos flask in the morning, it will still be piping hot for lunch. Or you could re-heat cold soup in the microwave for a few minutes.
