This chorizo and lentil soup recipe appeared in the October 2017 Delicious magazine.   However, it doesn't appear on the website, no matter how much I search!  

When I think of a comforting soup, lentils always come to mind, so add to that one of my favourite Spanish ingredients ...chorizo...it's a winner for me!   It actually just looks delicious, and as the weather's turning colder, it's definitely a soup to heat you up.

There's a lovely warming heat from the chorizo and because it was hot smoked pimenton that I use...the heat is dialled up a notch or 2.   I also love that there's cannellini beans in it...it's a soup that's absolutely full of flavour and now on the favourites list.

Tips

  • Make this chorizo and lentil soup 2 to 3 days ahead – cover and chill and then reheat until piping hot to serve.
  • Make it vegetarian – leave out the chorizo, use vegetable stock and add an extra tsp of smoked paprika to boost the smoky flavour.
  • It's freezable - make double and freeze in batches in sealed containers, without the sour cream and parsley, for up to 6 months.
