Traditional & hearty. Just add water. Ready in 12 minutes. Soup is an ancient food whose origins predate recorded history. It is unknown exactly how soup became a food, but one can assume it started very simply as a meager combination of water, animal bones and scraps of meat, fish or chicken, and vegetables. Over time, soups became more refined with the addition of spices, beans and grains. Soup, once thought of as a food of the poor, has reached an elevated status of sophistication and is recognized today not only for its taste, but also for its healthful attributes. Vigo Spanish Bean Soup is an authentic rendition of the famed Spanish classic. Our thick, hearty broth is laden with garbanzo beans (chickpeas), potatoes, green and red bell peppers and the taste of bay leaves and chorizo (Spanish sausage) which result in memorable, rustic soup.
