Cream of Potato with Chorizo and Kale Soup Recipe

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 broccoli stalk, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped chorizo sausage
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup finely chopped kale
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup light cream
  1. Bring chicken broth and water to a boil in a saucepan; cook potatoes in the boiling broth mixture until soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Mash or blend potatoes into the broth using a potato masher or fork.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and broccoli stalk until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add chorizo to onion mixture and cook over low heat until chorizo is heated through, about 5 minutes; stir in garlic.
  3. Stir onion-chorizo mixture into potato mixture; bring to a simmer. Add kale, about 1/4 cup at a time, to mixture, cooking until kale wilts before adding more. Season soup with salt and pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir heavy whipping cream and light cream into soup; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
