Creamy Potato Soup with Crispy Chorizo

This creamy potato and leek soup with crispy chorizo is the ultimate comfort food recipe, perfect for chilly nights, cozy dinners, or make-ahead lunches. Made with tender potatoes, sautéed leeks, garlic, and onion, then blended into a silky smooth soup, it’s a classic dish with a rich, savoury twist. The addition of crispy fried chorizo (or bacon) on top adds a smoky, salty crunch that elevates this easy homemade soup to restaurant-quality flavour. Whether you're looking for a quick weeknight dinner, a gluten-free soup recipe, or a hearty one-pot meal, this potato and leek soup delivers. It’s simple to prepare, packed with nutritious vegetables, and customisable for vegetarians by skipping the meat. Serve it with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
