Equipment
- Instant Pot or make it on stovetop
Ingredients
- 8-10 Ounce Spicy Chorizo crumbled in to small chunks
- 15 Ounce potato Peeled and cut into cubes
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 1 Medium Onion Chopped
- 1 tbsp Minced garlic
- 1 tspn Cumin Powder
- 1 tspn Dried thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 3-4 cups Chicken stock
- 1 cup Full fat milk
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Saute aromatics and chorizo
- Heat a pot. Add oil to it.
- Once the oil is medium-hot, add chopped onion. Fry till it softens.
- Add minced garlic. Saute them until they become aromatic (avoid burning).
- Add chorizo chunks. Cook for 4- 5 minutes. It will start to release oil and the color will change.
Add and cook potatoes in stock
- Add cubed potatoes. Cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
- Add cumin powder, and thyme and season with salt. Mix well.
- Add chicken stock and bay leaf. Let it come to a boil, then, reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 15 minutes or so until the potatoes are cooked.
- Stir in between. If required add more stock. Potatoes should be cooked and become soft.
Add milk and simmer
- Once the potatoes are cooked through, add milk.
- Stir well. Cover and let it simmer for another 10 minutes on low heat.
- While serving, garnish with chopped green onion.
Notes
- The chorizo is spicy enough, so I have not added any chili powder. You can adjust the spices as per your preference.
- If you want to reduce the cooking time, substitute raw potatoes with cooked potatoes.
- I prefer to have small potato chunks in the soup. If you prefer something very creamy and thick without any chunks, use a blender to blend everything in the soup after the potatoes are cooked. This will make the soup very creamy and smooth.
