Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp 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 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp double concentrated tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1.7 pounds waxy potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Get prep done before cooking. Peel and cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Deseed, cut into strips, and chop bell pepper. Peel and chop carrot. Finely chop onion. Mince garlic cloves and chop parsley. Remove casing from chorizo if needed, cut lengthwise in half, and slice.
  2. Heat oil over medium-high heat in large pot. Add chorizo and cook 3 minutes until starts to brown and release smoky oils.
  3. Add bell pepper and cook 2 minutes. Then add onion and garlic, cooking 2 minutes more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in carrot, salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Add tomato paste and stir until combined. Add flour and stir until incorporated to help thicken the soup.
  6. Add potatoes and pour in broth. Bring to boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. When ready, add cream and parsley. Cook 3 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Serve with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes so they hold their shape and don’t fall apart during cooking.
  • If you can’t find Spanish chorizo, substitute with smoked bacon and add extra paprika and cayenne pepper for similar smoky flavor.
  • For vegetarian version, omit chorizo and add 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. Can also add white beans for protein.
  • Leave out cream to make soup lighter, or use coconut cream for dairy-free option.
  • Soup tastes even better the next day as flavors develop. Perfect for meal prep.
