Peel and chop up the garlic cloves. Peel the dried chorizo sausage (if necessary) and chop it up into smaller bits. Add it all to a medium saucepan together with the bay leaves and dried chili pepper. Place the pan over medium heat.

Fry the garlic and chorizo for 3 minutes. The oil should have turned red by now. Then add the drained chickpeas and stock. Also season with a pinch of ground cumin, ground coriander and some salt.

Give all the ingredients a good stir and put a lid on the pan. Bring the soup to a good boil and then turn the heat lower. Cook the soup for 15 minutes. Then check the seasoning and add extra pepper, salt, ground coriander or cumin to taste if necessary. Stir in the chopped parsley right before serving.

Scoop the chickpea chorizo soup into large bowls and serve hot.
