Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil
55g
1 onion
110g
4 garlic cloves
12g
4 oz chorizo
110g
2 tsp paprika
4.20g
1 dash salt
0.40g
5 tomatoes
310g
2 tsp bay leaf
3.60g
1/4 tsp dried thyme
0.35g
1/4 tsp dried oregano
0.45g
1 potato
210g
8 cups kale
540g
16 oz shrimps
450g

Instructions:

1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
3. Add Chorizo: Add the finely sliced chorizo to the pot. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes, letting the chorizo release its oils and start to brown.
4. Spices: Stir in the 2 tsp of paprika and a dash of salt. Cook for another minute to let the spices blend with the chorizo mixture.
5. Tomatoes: Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes begin to break down.
6. Herbs: Add the 2 tsp of crushed bay leaf, 1/4 tsp of dried thyme, and 1/4 tsp of dried oregano to the pot. Stir to combine.
7. Potato: Add the peeled and diced potato to the pot. Mix well into the tomato and chorizo mixture.
8. Simmer: Pour in about 4-6 cups of water (or broth if preferred) to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, until the potato cubes are tender.
9. Kale: Add the chopped kale to the pot. Stir well and let it cook for 5 minutes, until the kale wilts slightly.
10. Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the soup. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
11. Final Seasoning: Taste the soup and add more salt if necessary.
12. Serve: Ladle the hot shrimp and chorizo soup into bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Make sure to devein and clean the shrimps thoroughly before adding them to the soup for the best flavor and texture.

- You can use canned tomatoes if fresh ones are not available; this will also reduce the cooking time.

- Adjust the amount of chorizo and paprika to control the spiciness of the soup to your liking.

- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend a portion of the soup before adding the shrimp and kale.

- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.

Enjoy your warm, flavorful bowl of Shrimp and Chorizo Soup. This recipe is sure to become a favorite with its perfect balance of spices and textures, providing a nutritious and satisfying meal for you and your family.
