To the same pot, add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add the onion and potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • 2. Add the garlic, red bell peppers and bay leaf, and season with lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the veggies soften up a bit, then add the smoked paprika and wine.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but this soup was surprisingly mild. The flavors are really well-balanced and the soup is very comforting.

This soup was a disaster! The flavors didn't work well together and the texture was off. I ended up throwing it out.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me. I probably won't be making it again.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loves it. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less chorizo next time.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll probably tone down the amount of chorizo next time.

This soup is amazing! The flavors of the chorizo, potatoes, and peppers are perfectly balanced. I added a bit of extra paprika for a little more spice. Definitely a keeper!
