Warm up with this hearty Chorizo Potato Soup with cabbage, made in the Thermomix.

A clever Varoma steaming method keeps the cabbage tender and lets you stretch the recipe to feed more people with ease.

When you need a soup that’s hearty enough for dinner but still clever in the way it’s cooked, this Chorizo Potato Soup with Cabbage is the answer. The Thermomix makes light work of the base, chorizo, potato, stock and spices, while the cabbage steams away gently in the Varoma. This ingenious method means the greens stay vibrant and perfectly tender, and you can bulk up the soup without overcrowding the bowl. It’s the kind of recipe that proves just how versatile the Thermomix can be: quick to prepare, nourishing, and easily scaled to feed a crowd.

Serving Suggestions:

Add a dollop of sour cream, crème fraîche or Greek yoghurt.

Scatter fresh parsley, dill, or chives over the top.

Serve with warm sourdough, garlic bread, or a rustic baguette.

For extra richness, top with grated parmesan or manchego.

Pair with a simple green salad for balance.

Freeze portions for a ready-made midweek dinner.
