How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the cooking process! Follow these simple steps to create your own bowl of Spanish Potato Soup with Chorizo:

1. Get your prep done before you start cooking. Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Deseed, cut into strips, and chop the bell pepper. Peel and chop the carrot. Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley. Remove the casing from the chorizo if needed, cut lengthwise in half, and slice.
2. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add the chorizo and cook for about 3 minutes until it starts to brown. Then, add the bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Next, add the onion and garlic, cooking for another 2 minutes.
3. Stir in the chopped carrot, salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let those flavors meld together.
4. Add the tomato paste and stir until combined. Then, sprinkle in the flour and stir until it’s fully incorporated.
5. Now, add the potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
6. When the potatoes are ready, stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Cook for another 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Serve with some crusty bread and enjoy!
