Ingredients

Scale

To make Spanish Potato Soup with Chorizo, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 lb chorizo sausage, casings removed and crumbled
  • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Chorizo:

  1. Brown the Chorizo: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled chorizo and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the pot and set aside.

Prepare the Soup Base:

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Add the Spices: Stir in the smoked paprika, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.

Simmer the Soup:

  1. Add the Potatoes and Broth: Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken broth and water. Stir to combine.
  2. Bring to a Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Finish the Soup:

  1. Add the Chorizo Back: Once the potatoes are tender, return the cooked chorizo to the pot. Stir to combine and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
  2. Season to Taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Serve:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
