It is already the ‘Soup Season’. All those Stockpots, Slow-cooker already be out and are in use to the fullest. For me, nothing hits the spot like a comforting bowl of hot soup in winter. While classic Creamy Tomato Soup always tops the list, I do try out different recipes. Clear broth soup to thick creamy soup, I love them all. My latest obsession is this healthy Low Carb Cabbage Chicken Taco Soup. It is light and full of Mexican flavors. After all those calorie-rich diets during the festive season, this soup would come to your rescue. So bookmark the recipe and give me a shout out if you are making it.
Let’s talk about this Chorizo and Potato Soup today. If you love potato soup, then I am sure you are going to love this version. The chorizo sausage gives the soups a spicy and smokey flavor. Once the potato is cooked, it makes the soup creamy.So you don’t have to add gallons of cream to make it creamy. This hearty soup is very filling and rich. With some crusty bread on the side, it would make a complete meal in itself.
I wouldn’t claim that this soup is healthy. But hey!! it is absolutely fine to indulge in a rich bowl of soup on a cold night. If prefer slightly chunky soup, then this soup is for you. The recipe I am going to share is on the stove top. But after I did this soup a couple of times, I realized this soup can also be easily made in a slow-cooker. In fact, if you are planning to have this soup for dinner then slow cooker is the best option. Put everything together in the morning and let it cook on low heat.
I have used spicy Spanish chorizo in this recipe. You can also substitute with any other sausage and adjust the spices accordingly. This soup tastes even better the next day, as all the flavor blends well with time. If you like add a spoon or two of cream while serving.

What kind of potato did you use? Looks great!

You can use russett or white potatoes.
Ann says
Subbed sage for thyme, omitted cumin. Lots of cracked pepper and some fresh chopped hot chiles, bay, celery seed, house-dried celery leaves. I happened to have some beef bones so made a stock out of that (beef and potatoes go so well together! :). Goat milk was used instead (had some powdered on hand) and smashed the potatoes before adding the chorizo. A good hearty soup! Thanks so much!!

How would you make this soup in a slow cooker? Meaning, at what a stage would you transfer ingredients from the stove top to the slow cooker? And then cook for how long? It sounds sooo good—I’d love to fill my kitchen with the smell of this soup all day long!
Rachael says
I have not made it in the slow cooker before so I am not sure. But I would imagine if you add any dairy at the end, the rest can cook all day.
Tim says
