Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Spanish chorizo, sliced
- 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: dice the onion, chop the bell peppers, and mince the garlic.
- In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.

- Ladle the stew into bowls and serve with crusty bread or over rice.
