Sweet potato soup with chorizo

Spring is still a bit reluctant to show its face here in Germany, so let’s have another warm, rich soup to warm your belly, shall we? This is a recipe I got from Jamie Oliver and after tweaking it a bit to my liking it became a regular in my kitchen during the cold months. The taste of the veggies mixed with the spicy chorizo makes a wonderful, thick soup that is a whole meal in itself.

The original recipe only calls for veggies, some spices, the chorizo and the chicken stock. I tried it that way and the result was nice, but a bit too watery for my taste. So I added some coconut milk to give the soup a more creamy texture. I also added the fried, crispy bits of chorizo as a tasty garnish and this little extra just takes this soup over the top, I think. Give it a try!
