Cabbage is often an afterthought, but here it takes centre stage by celebrating its natural sweetness and earthy flavour. When charred, cabbage develops a smoky depth that makes this soup wonderfully rich and comforting. In Spain, cabbage and chorizo have long been a winning combination found in all manner of hearty stews and rustic dishes. The addition of white beans not only makes this soup more satisfying and filling, but also gives it a gorgeous, creamy texture that helps to balance all the smoky notes going on. This is a simple and honest dish that’s full of warmth and great flavours.
