Step-by-Step Instructions for Spanish Chorizo Soup
- Begin by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced Spanish chorizo and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chorizo becomes crispy and releases its flavorful oils. Once cooked, remove the chorizo and set it aside, keeping the rendered fat in the pot.
- In the same pot with the leftover chorizo fat, add diced yellow onion and sliced red and green bell peppers. Sauté the vegetables for 8-10 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently until they soften and caramelize.
- Stir in freshly minced garlic and smoked paprika to the pot, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Ensure the spices coat the softened vegetables.
- Add cubed Yukon Gold potatoes to the pot, stirring them well to coat with the aromatic mixture. Pour in enough chicken broth to cover the ingredients and bring to a rolling boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Return the crispy chorizo to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Ladle the hot Spanish Chorizo Soup into bowls and garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley. Serve alongside crusty bread.

Notes
Allow the soup to sit for a few minutes after cooking to let the flavors deepen; it’ll taste even better when served later.
