A hearty and flavorful Spanish potato soup made with smoky chorizo, tender potatoes, and bold spices — the perfect rustic meal for chilly days.
2 tbsp olive oil
6 oz Spanish chorizo, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ tsp smoked paprika
1½ lbs potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 bay leaf
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Heat olive oil in a soup pot. Add chorizo and cook until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Add onion and sauté until soft. Stir in garlic and paprika, cook 30 seconds.
Add potatoes and stir to coat. Pour in broth, add bay leaf, and bring to a simmer.
Cook covered for 20–25 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
