Spicy Kale, Chorizo and Squash Soup
Since I’m into soup these days (I’m buying more stuff for Hot & Sour Soup today), I was attracted to this soup, and I’ll buy also its ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 large or 3 small garlic cloves, finely chopped [I'll go with 6 large – LG]
8 ounces chorizo sausage, casing removed (if you’re using fully cooked chorizo, dice it before adding it to the soup)
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 1/2 pounds winter squash, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (Butternut, Red Kuri, or Buttercup are good varieties to use)
8 cups chicken broth [I suggest chicken stock – LG]
1 1/2 pounds kale, stemmed, torn and chopped into small pieces or ribbons (about 2 small to medium bunches)salt and pepper to taste
I make a very similar soup, but with potatoes instead of squash. This sounds like a great variation for me to try! I have also substituted fish for the chorizo on occasion…
