Hearty Lentil and Chorizo Soup – A Comforting Bowl of Flavor

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the garlic, carrots, and potatoes, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: Cook the Chorizo
Add the diced chorizo to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is browned and slightly crispy, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 3: Simmer the Soup
Add the rinsed lentils, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and chicken or vegetable broth to the pot. Stir everything together.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the lentils and potatoes are tender.
Step 4: Final Touches
Once the soup is cooked, adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 5: Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
