Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 (about 340 g) chorizos, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 6 (about 1.2 kg) sebago or desiree potatoes, peeled, quartered
- 1.75 litres water
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 100 g (1¼ cups) cavolo nero (Tuscan kale) or white cabbage, finely shredded
- crusty bread, to serve
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook chorizo for 2 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Add onion and garlic to the same pan and cook for 3 minutes or until onion softens. Increase heat to high, add potato and cook for a further 3 minutes or until potatoes start to soften.
Add the water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes or until potato is very tender.
Using a handheld blender, purée soup until roughly blended. Return pan over high heat, stir in chorizo, salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes or until heated through.
Stir in cavolo nero, cover, and stand for 5 minutes or until wilted. Serve with crusty bread.
