Ingredients
- 800 g sweet potatoes chopped
- 100 g chorizo diced
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 red pepper deseeded and chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 850 ml vegetable stock or vegetable stock
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of chilli flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the chorizo. For the best flavour, fry the diced chorizo in a dry frying pan for 3–4 minutes until it starts to release its oils. You can skip this step, but frying gives the soup a deeper, smokier flavour.
- Add the ingredients. Put the sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, red pepper, chorizo, smoked paprika and black pepper into the soup maker.
- Pour in the stock. Add the stock, ensuring everything stays below the soup maker's maximum fill line. Reduce the stock if necessary.
- Select the smooth soup function. Allow the soup maker to complete its cycle.
- Taste and serve. Check the seasoning and add extra black pepper if needed. Serve with crusty bread and, if you like, a few pieces of crispy chorizo scattered over the top.
