For a vegetarian option, omit the chorizo and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. To make the soup even creamier, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cream. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, fresh parsley, or a sprinkle of paprika for an elegant presentation.
