A hot and lusciously-thick soup on a crisp autumn night is just the kind of thing you daydream about during a cold commute home. Loaded with crispy slices of spicy sausage, potatoes, fibre-rich kidney beans and enough kale to fight off the grodiest of inter-office germs.

directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot on medium high heat. Sauté chorizo until crispy, about 4 minutes. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2

Pour off oil rendered from the chorizo, saving about 1 Tablespoon. Sauté onions and garlic, scraping up any sausage bits, until soft.

Step 3

Add thyme, bay leaf, diced potatoes, beans and stock and turn up heat to medium high. Add chopped kale and bring to a boil for 6-7 minutes. Turn down heat and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Return chorizo to the pot.

Step 4

In a separate pan, add a sliver of butter and melt. Sear cod on both sides until just browned.

Step 5

Add cod to soup pot and cook until fish is cooked though.

Step 6

Remove bay leaf, ladle into bowls and add cracked black pepper and salt to taste.

Step 7

Add grated Parmesan and dig in!

Step 8

*A quick whiz with an immersion blender results in a thicker, more rustic version of this soup. Just don’t go too crazy, we’re not making baby food.
