SATISFYING POTATO & CHORIZO SOUP
It's a rainy summer's day, soup was a great idea. I love making this because it's pretty quick for homemade and it strikes a good balance for adults and kids. All depending on who your audience is, choose a mild or spicy chorizo. I haven't made this without using the immersion blender to mix it up. I'm sure it would be fine, I would be tempted to cut things quite a bit smaller if that were the case, and maybe not preboil the potatoes. The original recipe called for kale, but to please all palates I have subbed carrots. You could sub a wide variety of complimentary veg such as spinach or another leafy green. Something with a pop of colour.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add the potatoes and let them cook until fork tender, roughly 10-12 minutes depending on how small or large you cut them. Your choice if you want to peel the potatoes or not. I like to leave them on since there is great nutrition in the skins. Drain the cooked potatoes and set aside.
- Set a heavy bottomed stock/soup pot over a medium flame and add the olive oil. Once it is warm, add the chorizo and saute, watching it doesn't burn. After about 4-5 minutes your oil should have quite a red tinge to it and the chorizo will be fully warmed through. Remove the chorizo from the pot using a slotted spoon and set-aside. Leave the oil in the pot.
- Continuing with medium heat, in the same pot with the olive oil, saute the onion and garlic for about 6-8 minutes. Watch it doesn't burn.
- Deglaze the pot with a bit of the broth, stirring to release anything stuck to the bottom and then add in the rest of the broth. Bring to a boil then add in the cooked potatoes. (You could cook the potatoes in the broth if you prefer, saves dirtying another pot -- however you'd likely have to add more broth).
- Let that mingle for a few minutes and then remove from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. If you left the skin on your potatoes, you'll get little red flecks in the soup when it's all mixed up.
- Return the soup to the heat and add the chorizo back in, along with the pepper, cayenne if using, plus the carrots (or other veg) and parsley. Let it come back to a gentle simmer, cover and let cook until the carrots are tender. Of course if you're using something like spinach this won't take long. Season with salt if necessary, though likely your broth was salt enough. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the tortilla strips with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil on a baking sheet, spread in a single layer and bake until crisp and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and set aside. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cumin and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the sweet potato, chicken broth, tomatoes and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the sweet potato is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the spinach and lime juice and season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with the tortilla strips, cilantro and avocado.

Steps:
- Heat half the olive oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion until soft but not coloured, about 12 mins. Add the garlic and cook for 4 mins more. Tip in the potatoes, turn to coat, season and add about 75ml water. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 mins, stirring occasionally. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil and continue to cook, uncovered, for 20 mins until the potatoes are completely tender. Leave to cool.
- Heat the remaining olive oil and the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Toss in the spinach, season and cook for a few minutes until wilted.
- Add the wilted spinach, any liquid from the pan and the rocket to the potato mixture. Use a hand blender to blitz to a smooth purée, or pulse the mixture in a food processor if you prefer a chunkier soup (you may need to do this in batches).
- To make the garnish, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the chorizo for a few minutes. Add the chillies and garlic, and cook until the garlic is softened but not brown - this will happen quickly so watch it carefully. Reheat the soup if needed, divide between bowls and top with the chorizo garnish to serve.

SMOKED FISH AND POTATO SOUP WITH CHORIZO
This is a soup that's especially nice for cold, wet days. It's like a chowder, but the inspiration is Iberian, modeled after Portuguese or Spanish potato soups enriched with salt cod. Smoked sablefish gives the broth a marvelous flavor, but smoked whitefish, cod, haddock, sturgeon or even smoked trout could be used.
