Ingredients
Chorizo (Spanish, cured or semi-cured), sliced or diced
Potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks
Onion, finely chopped
Garlic cloves, minced
Olive oil
Smoked paprika
Crushed tomatoes (optional)
Chicken or vegetable broth
Bay leaf
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook until it starts to brown and release its oils.
Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant.
(Optional) Stir in crushed tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes.
Add potatoes, smoked paprika, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Pour in enough broth to fully cover the potatoes.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Adjust seasoning, remove bay leaf, and serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Use hot chorizo or red pepper flakes for extra spice.
Add kale or spinach near the end for extra greens.
For a creamier texture, partially mash the potatoes or blend some of the soup.
To make it vegetarian, skip the chorizo and use chickpeas and smoked paprika.
A splash of dry sherry or white wine after sautéing the onion adds extra depth.
