Ingredients
- Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- Chorizo, sliced or diced (made from beef)
- Onion, finely chopped
- Garlic cloves, crushed
- Olive oil
- Smoked paprika
- Vegetable or chicken stock
- Salt and black pepper
- Fresh parsley or coriander (to finish)
Instructions
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Add the chorizo and cook until it releases its oils and turns lightly crisp. Remove a small portion for garnish if desired, leaving the rest in the pan.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook gently in the chorizo oil until soft and slightly golden. This step builds sweetness and depth. Stir in the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
Add the diced sweet potatoes and smoked paprika, stirring well so the vegetables are coated in the spiced oil. This helps the flavour carry through the soup.
Pour in enough stock to cover the vegetables. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are very tender.
Blend the soup until smooth, or leave it slightly chunky if you prefer texture. Adjust consistency with extra stock if needed.
Season with salt and black pepper. Serve hot, topped with reserved chorizo and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
