Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 lb Chorizo Substitute with ground turkey or plant-based chorizo for lighter options.
  • 4 medium Potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes yield a creamy texture.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian twist.
For Creaminess
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream For a lighter option, opt for half-and-half or coconut milk.
Aromatics
  • 1 medium Onion Use yellow or white onions for excellent flavor depth.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances the aroma and taste.
Finishing Touches
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Essential for sautéing the chorizo and onions.
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika Optional, for extra smokiness.

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add crumbled chorizo and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fragrant.
  2. Stir in finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Add diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash or blend part of the soup to achieve creamy consistency, leaving some chunks.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, avoiding boiling after this point. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley, and serve with crusty bread.
