Chorizo Bean Stew – just 4sp!

I got home the day before payday and went to make tea and found I basically had no food left in the house save for a few bits in the fridge and some tins.  The dinner which  followed was therefore a creation of whatever I fancied! The result was a lovely thick and chunky soup/stew which made a nice four portions to box up and take for packed lunch.

    I have made this chorizo stew several times and it is lovely. I substitute vegetarian chorizo as my husband does not eat meat and it works very well.
    In fact I have made several of your recipes and they are delicious
