Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1

Remove the casings from the chorizo (slit lengthwise with a knife and peel off). Pinch off bite-sized pieces (-1 tsp each).

2

Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add chorizo pieces and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and the oil turns rusty red.

3

Stir in diced celery, carrot, and onion. Cook another 10 minutes until softened and fragrant.

4

Add cubed potatoes; stir 5 minutes to coat in chorizo fat.

5

Pour in beef broth, add bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer 10-12 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.

6

Stir in heavy cream and baby spinach. Simmer 2 minutes until spinach wilts and soup turns silky. Turn off heat.

7

Remove bay leaves. Stir in fresh dill and parsley. Taste; adjust seasoning if needed (chorizo is salty).

8

Ladle into warm bowls and serve with crusty bread.

Chef's Note

• Choose spicy chorizo for extra heat.

• Leftovers taste even better the next day-reheat gently to keep cream smooth.
