Description
Spanish Potato Soup with Chorizo is a hearty, comforting dish that combines tender potatoes with the bold flavors of chorizo and a fragrant blend of spices. With a base of chicken broth enriched with cream, each spoonful is warming and satisfying. The smoky, slightly spicy chorizo adds a depth of flavor that perfectly complements the creamy potatoes and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
9 ounces Spanish chorizo, spicy or mild, sliced
1 green bell pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons double concentrated tomato paste
2 tablespoons flour
1.7 pounds waxy potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
6 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by prepping the ingredients: peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, chop the bell pepper and carrot, finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the parsley. Remove the casing from the chorizo if needed, then cut it lengthwise in half and slice.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add the sliced chorizo and cook for 3 minutes, or until it starts to brown.
Add the chopped bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes, followed by the onion and garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the chopped carrot, salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Add the tomato paste, stirring until it is well incorporated, then add the flour and stir to combine.
Add the potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the soup to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are tender, add the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Cook for 3 more minutes, then taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
Serve hot with crusty bread on the side. Enjoy!
