  • 1 can white beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté Chorizo and Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook until browned. Stir in onion and garlic, cooking until softened.

    Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate all flavors.
  2. Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add chopped tomatoes, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

    Use fresh tomatoes for a brighter flavor.
  3. Combine Broth and Beans

    Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the white beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

    Adjust the broth amount for desired thickness.
  4. Add Clams

    Add the cleaned clams to the pot, cover, and cook until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes.

    Discard any clams that do not open.
  5. Incorporate Spinach and Serve

    Stir in the spinach until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with parsley.

    Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
