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)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced chorizo. Cook for another 5 minutes until the chorizo is browned and fragrant.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños while cooking.
