Caldo Callego (Spanish Vegetable And Sausage Soup)

Directions

In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan heat oil over high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add water and broth mixes and stir until dissolved.

Reduce heat to low and add potatoes, tomatoes, carrot and bay leaf; cover and let simmer until vegetables are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook until sausage and chick-peas are heated through, about 5 minutes longer. Remove and discard bay leaf before serving.

Makes 4 servings, about 1⅓ cups each.
