Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces Spanish chorizo, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  2. Add chorizo, smoked paprika, and oregano to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chorizo is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and add potatoes and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.

Notes

For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after the potatoes are cooked. Be careful not to over-blend, as you want to retain some texture.
