This 1-pot Spanish-style potato and vegan chorizo soup is hearty and flavorful. The rich, spicy, and smoky broth is paired with plant-based chorizo for the ultimate comfort meal that is ideal for colder fall and winter days.
Sauté the chorizo in a large pot on medium heat. Remove once nicely browned and set aside. In the same pot sauté the sausage slices until cooked then remove and set aside.
Heat the oil in the same pot and add in the onions, cumin, sweet and smoked paprikas. Sauté the onions until translucent, about 4-6 minutes.
Mix in the tomato paste until fully incorporated then add in the red bell pepper, garlic and sliced potatoes, mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the vegan chicken broth, cover the pot and bring to a hard simmer. Cook for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Turn the heat down to medium low and add in the cooked chorizo and sausage. Check for seasoning and adjust with salt & pepper if needed. Continue to cook uncovered for another 10 minutes or until completely heated through.
Serve hot with a garnish of chopped parsley and enjoy!
Traditional recipes use Spanish cured chorizo, which can be hard to find in a plant-based version. To achieve a similar texture and authentic flavor profile, this recipe combines an uncured vegan chorizo with a plant-based spicy sausage.
