Spanish Style Potato & Chorizo Soup
Spanish Style Potato & Chorizo Soup
Warm up with this easy vegan soup with plant based chorizo and potatoes. This hearty, flavorful soup is the perfect one pot recipe that features a rich, spicy broth infused with smoky paprika. Plant based chorizo adds the signature color and kick, while tender potatoes create a creamy, comforting texture. It’s the perfect cozy meal to enjoy during the colder months.
While traditional recipes use Spanish cured chorizo—which can be hard to find in a vegan version—this recipe adapts beautifully by combining vegan uncured chorizo with spicy sausage for an authentic flavor and satisfying texture.
