Cuban Bean Soup

by

While in Tampa for work, I enjoyed a nice evening at Columbia Cafe. I especially enjoyed their Cuban Bean Soup. This is my recreation of that soup. This is a modification of Spanish Bean Soup, from tasteofcuba.com.

I often use a frozen package of chopped onions, peppers, and celery rather than the fresh ingredients.

Original recipe: http://www.tasteofcuba.com/spanishbeansoup.html

  • 1 large green pepper, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 6-7 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 cans of garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 5 to 6 medium russet potatoes, cubed (about 1 1/2 inches)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 2 quarts or so of chicken stock or water
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ham steak, cubed
  • 1 package sausage

Firstly the meat does not need to be beef, it can be made with lamb as well (i personally prefer lamb, it has more flavour). The meat is usually boneless, lean, and is cut into pieces of about 2x3x1.5 cm.
