Creamy Soup with Chorizo and Scallops

Make on Fresco
Serves 4 Prep Time 15 minutes   Cook Time 20 minutes   Rated:

Scallops have to be one of my all time fave foods...unless they are over cooked in which case they can resemble pieces of foam rubber mattress...just sayin'. So steaming this way, then caramelising is a great way to ensure they are barely cooked, sweet, melt in the mouth yummy and really they are perfect with the saltiness of the chorizo and creaminess of the potato soup. I do love this recipe. It is not cheap so probably not your weeknight family filler upper, but the perfect elegant first course at your next dinner party! I first created a version of this recipe for a Thermomix in Australia calendar...this version is better.
