Sometimes, the simpler the recipe, the tastier the dish as the spicy Spanish soup Gordon cooked on Cookalong Live, proves.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 6-8 merguez sausages
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 200g charlotte potatoes, sliced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 red pepper, de-seeded, finely sliced
  • 1 yellow pepper, de-seeded, finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 200g semi dried chorizo sausage, diced
  • Approx 30ml dry sherry
  • 250g passata
  • 300ml chicken stock
  • 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 x 400g tin kidney beans
  • Handful fresh basil, finely shredded

Method: How to make Gordon's rustic chorizo soup

1. Heat a wide shallow pan with a little olive oil and sauté the merguez sausages until browned all over, approximately 4 - 6 minutes. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Add a little fresh oil to the pan and sauté the red onion with the sliced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and allow to colour for 6-8 minutes

2. In a separate heavy based casserole dish heat a tablespoon of olive oil and add the red and yellow peppers. Sauté with the crushed garlic for 2 - 3 minutes.

3. Add the semi dried chorizo and transfer the red onion and potatoes to the casserole dish. Cook together for 5 minutes then deglaze with the sherry.

4. Slice the merguez sausages on a diagonal and add to the casserole dish.

5. Pour in the passata and chicken stock and bring to the boil. Adjust the seasoning and simmer for 8 minutes or until the merguez sausages are cooked.

6. Add the cherry tomatoes and kidney beans to the soup and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes before adding the basil. Allow the basil to wilt and mix thoroughly before serving.

  1. This sounds absolutely delicious: perfect for the cold autumnal/winter evenings. My wife and I LOVE chorizo, and it sounds just the sort of rustic soup we like to try and make. Thanks for making the ideas yummy and yet simple! :-)
