Ingredients

  • 8-10 Ounce Spanish Chorizo crumbled in to small chunks
  • 1 pound potato Peeled and cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon Oil
  • 1 Medium Onion Chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
  • 1 Green bell pepper diced
  • 2-3 sprig thyme
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 3-4 cups Chicken stock
  • ½ cup Heavy cream
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

Saute aromatics and chorizo

  • Heat a pot. Add oil to it.
  • Once the oil is medium-hot, add crumbled chorizo and cook until it releases oil and lightly browned.
  • Add chopped onion, minced garlic. Saute them until they soften. Stir in the chopped bell pepper and tomato paste. Saute for another minute.

Add and cook potatoes in stock

  • Add cubed potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Stir potatoes to coat with the fat and spices.
  • Add warm chicken stock. Let it come to a boil, then, reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes or so until the potatoes are cooked.
  • Stir in between. If required add more stock. Potatoes should be cooked and become soft.

Add cream and simmer

  • Once the potatoes are cooked through, add cream, stir well. Cover and let it simmer for another 6-7 minutes on low heat.
  • While serving, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  •  The chorizo is spicy enough, so I have not added extra spice. You can adjust the spices as per your preference.
  • For a brothy and lighter soup, skip adding cream. Press a few chunks of potatoes with the back of the spoon to thicken the soup a little. 
  • Towards the end add some baby spinach or kale and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
