This quick and easy stewy soup is surprisingly filling, plus the low cost ingredients make it great value if you're feeding a crowd. Winter comfort food doesn't get much better than these combination of flavours; the deeply smoked paprika and fiery chilies in the Spanish pork chorizo give the soup a real kick, that's subtly offset by the creaminess of the chickpeas and potatoes (make this soup even spicier by adding a sprinkling of dried chilli flakes). If you've got time on your hands then use dried chickpeas and soak them in a bowl of cold water overnight.
