Spanish Chicken, Chorizo and Rice Soup, Spanish Chicken, Chorizo and Rice Soup
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Spanish chicken, chorizo and rice soup is from the September 2019 UK version of the Food to Love magazine.   We have a hard copy of it but can't find it online, however, the New Zealand version is available.   It's got our favourite Spanish flavours and is really warming and hearty.   Definitely one of those dishes that you could eat and eat...it is pretty filling though and reminded us very much of a gumbo.   The recipe will easily serve 6 as a starter or 4 if you’re having it as a main meal with some crusty bread – see the link below for our bread recipes. 

Tips

  • I used basmati rice and cooked it for 10 minutes at the end of step 1.
  • Cooking chorizo hasn’t been available in my local supermarket for quite a while now, so I used a cooked spicy chorizo sausage instead…it gave a lovely heat to the soup.
  • If you’ve got leftover chicken from a roast, that will work well, however poached skinless boneless breast or thighs are good too.  I used skinless boneless chicken thighs and before starting to make the soup I poached them in 500ml of chicken stock.   Season the chicken with salt and pepper then add to a saucepan on a high heat along with one chicken stock pot or cube and 500ml cold water.   When the water begins to boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes (turning once, halfway through cooking).   Remove the chicken and set aside to cool on a plate before shredding to add at step 3 of the recipe.   Add the stock that the chicken was poached into the other 500ml of stock, as 1 litre of stock is required for the soup.
  • The original recipe says to serve the soup with chopped avocado, fresh coriander leaves and fresh lime halves – I didn’t have any of these ingredients when making the soup for the first time but decided to make it anyway…to be honest, we didn’t miss them – the soup was delicious.

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large soup or casserole pot (I used our 24 cm casserole) over a medium heat; cook the onion and garlic, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the onion softens. Add the pepper, oregano and spices; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the flour and tomato paste; cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until combined. Gradually stir in the stock, the water and tomatoes; bring to the boil, stirring. Stir in the rice; simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes (see Tips) or until rice is tender.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large oiled frying pan over a medium to high heat; cook the chorizo slices for 3 minutes or until browned. Drain on paper towel.
  3. Add the chorizo and chicken to the soup; stir over a medium heat for 5 minutes or until hot. Season to taste.
  4. Serve bowls of soup topped with avocado and coriander and accompany with lime halves (if using). We enjoyed ours with some baguette.
