Potato, Cabbage & Chorizo Soup

By ltrodrigu

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 3 small links Spanish chorizo (about 5 ounces total), sliced 1/4-inch thick
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 1/2 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/4 medium green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 8 cups chicken stock or water

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sweat until softened but not colored, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo and bay leaves and cook gently until chorizo colors onions, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and sauté until beginning to soften on the outside, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage and season with salt and pepper.

Pour in enough chicken stock to just cover vegetables and increase heat to high. Once stock comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
