How To Make drunken potato & chorizo soup

  • 1
    Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook chorizo until nice and crispy, Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat. To the same pot, add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add the onion and potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • 2
    Add the garlic, red bell peppers and bay leaf, and season with lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the veggies soften up a bit, then add the smoked paprika and wine. Cook so the liquid reduces by half, then add the chicken stock. Give everything a good stir, then add reserved chorizo. Cook for 20 minutes until the soup reduces to a consistency that's close to but not thick like a stew.
