Chorizo Red Pepper & Sweet Potato Soup
  • Yield : 4
  • Servings : 4-6
  • Prep Time : 10m
  • Cook Time : 60m
  • Ready In : 60m

Easiest soup I’ve ever made and by far my most favouritisttits!!

Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Sweet Potatoes - Diced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper - Diced
  • 1 Orange Bell Pepper - Diced
  • 225g Quality Chorizo - Copped & Cubed
  • 1 Onion - Diced
  • 1 Red Chilli (Optional) - Finely Chopped
  • ½ Tsp Smoked Paprika
  • Salt & Black Pepper
  • A Little Vegetable Oil

Method

Step 1

In a large pan, over a medium heat add the oil and gently fry the: Peppers, Onions & Chilli for two minutes.

Step 2

Next add the sweet potatoes - And stir in for another two minutes.

Step 3

Add the chorizo and fry off for a final two minutes. Now cover with 2 pints of water, season with salt & pepper, bring to boil then simmer for about an hour.

Step 4

When ready blend the soup into a nice smooth consistency - Check for seasoning and serve. - You might want to add a little more water if your soup is too thick...

Step 5

Option: If you feel up to it, try roasting the peppers first by flaming them with a brûlée gun until they are nice and black on the outside. This really adds a depth of flavour. If you don't have a brûlée gun burn them on a gas hob...If you don't have a hob get a gun!

Step 6

Serve with toasted wholemeal pitta and a rocket and baby plum salad dressed in a squeeze of fresh lime and a dollop of chilli humous!

I just like cooking great food..
