Instructions
- Step 1:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chorizo slices and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fragrant. Remove chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the oil in the pot.
- Step 2:
- Add onion, carrot, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
- Step 3:
- Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, and thyme; cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
- Step 4:
- Add diced potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Step 5:
- Return the chorizo to the pot. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, partially mash the potatoes in the soup to your desired consistency (leave some chunks for texture).
- Step 6:
