1 lg. onion (minced)
6 cloves minced garlic
1 lg. chopped bell pepper
1 oz. olive oil
2 Chorizo (Spanish sausage-skinned and sliced)
1/2 lb. smoked ham (diced) or 16 oz. can Spam
1 tsp. Vigo paprika (or your choice)
6 med. size cans garbanzos
3 lg. potatoes (diced)
salt to taste
3 env. Vigo flavoring and coloring for yellow rice
1 lg. frying pan
1 lg. pot
1 c. tap water

In large frying pan, put onions, garlic, bell pepper, Chorizos, ham or Spam, 1 package Vigo flavoring and the olive oil; cover, cook until all is tender, stirring 3 or 4 times. While that is simmering prepare the beans. Put all beans into large pot. Add 1 cup tap water, 2 envelopes Vigo flavoring and coloring, potatoes, paprika and bring to a boil. Then turn down heat to medium. Add all ingredients from the frying pan into pot of beans, let simmer until the soup thickens and all ingredients are tender. Best if simmered for 3 or more hours. You may have to add a little extra water now then so the beans never dry up. Delicious over white or yellow rice.
