Chorizo Cannellini and Potato Creamy Soup

Cold and grey days require warm and hearty soup! ..and I haven’t made a soup for quite a while now.

So I did Chorizo Potato and Cannellini Creamy Soup for today!

This is a very simple recipe to make if you are using canned beans. You could also use dried beans if you prefer, but you need to soak them overnight in cold water and cook them for 1 hour, the next day. So, I say..Yay!! to canned beans. Will save a lot of precious time for preparation. Once the vegetables and chorizo are cooked, all you need is a blender to puree the soup.

Ingredients

Chorizo sausages
Onion
Potato
Cannellini Beans
Chicken Broth
Lemon
Paprika
Garlic
Fresh parsley – to serve

How to make creamy Chorizo Potato Soup

The first step is to sauté the chorizo in a large pot or Dutch oven. Once the chorizo is cooked, add the potato, onion and garlic and cannellini beans and give everything a good stir. Then, it’s time to add the chicken broth. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

Remove from stove top and using a hand blender puree the soup. This will make the soup nice and creamy. Give everything a final stir and then ladle into bowls.

In less than 1 hour, you will have this creamy, smoky flavored soup, ready to be served.

I like to serve my soup with warm, straight from the oven Ciabatta Rolls. No, I am not going through the whole process of making and baking them. I buy those half-baked ciabatta rolls from Trader’s Joe and pop them in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Ah! they are soooo amazing!
