400g (14oz) small potatoes, unpeeled and thinly sliced
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
1.5 litres (2½ pints) vegetable or chicken stock, or water
200g (7oz) Savoy cabbage
225g (7½ oz) chorizo ring, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves

Method

1 Put the slices of potato and onion in a large pan with the stock or water. Cover, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 15 mins.
2 Finely shred the cabbage and put it on top of the potatoes and onion in the pan, half cover and let it steam for 5 mins.
3 Meanwhile, heat a frying pan, add the slices of chorizo and let them cook, turning them once, for about 5 mins until the oil runs out and the slices brown a little.
4 Stir the cabbage into the soup in the pan. Season well, then spoon into large, warmed soup bowls. Spoon the chorizo slices on top and drizzle with the remaining paprika-flavoured oil. Garnish with parsley leaves. (Not suitable for freezing.)
