Description
A creamy and flavorful Spanish Potato Soup with Chorizo, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound chorizo sausage, sliced
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and sliced chorizo. Cook for another 5 minutes until the chorizo is browned and fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as is.
- Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños while cooking.
- You can substitute the chorizo with turkey sausage for a lighter version.
- For a vegetarian option, replace the chorizo with sautéed mushrooms and add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
