Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
7 mins

Cook the Chorizo: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chorizo and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly. Remove from skillet and set aside. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Sauté the Aromatics: In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the chopped celery and onion, cooking until softened and translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. (Cook time: 7-10 minutes)

04

Step
30 mins

Simmer the Soup: Drain the potatoes and transfer them to the pot with the celery and onions. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the cooked chorizo, chopped carrots, and celery salt. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook until the carrots and potatoes are tender. (Simmer time: 25-30 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Cream Enrichment: Reserve 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream into the soup and continue to cook until the flavors meld together. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

06

Step
10 mins

Thicken the Soup: In a separate small bowl, slightly warm the reserved 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Whisk in the all-purpose flour until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the simmering soup, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to simmer until the soup has thickened to your desired consistency. (Simmer time: 7-10 minutes)

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.
