¾ lb

3 cloves 

 

garlic, 2 chopped and 1 crushed

 

1 large 

 

yellow onion, chopped

 

2 ribs 

 

celery, chopped

 

1 large 

 

carrot, peeled and chopped

 

6 medium 

 

red potatoes, cut in half and then thinly sliced

 

1 Tbs 

 

fresh thyme leaves, chopped

 

 

 

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

One 15oz. 

 

can diced fire-roasted tomatoes

 

2 cups 

 

chicken broth

 

4 slices 

 

thick and crusty country-style bread

 

½ cup 

 

fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

 

 

 

zest of 1 lemon

1

Preheat a large soup pot over medium-high heat with 2 T. olive oil. Add chorizo and cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes. Add 2 cloves of chopped garlic, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, thyme, salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes and chicken broth and bring up to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

2

While the stew is simmering, toast the bread in the broiler or in a toaster oven. Rub with the crushed garlic clove and then drizzle olive oil over it and reserve.

3

Pile the parsley leaves, lemon zest, and orange zest on a cutting board. Run your knife through the pile until the parsley is finely chopped and the zests are completely incorporated into the parsley; reserve.

4

To serve, arrange the garlic croutons in the bottom of 4 shallow soup bowls, ladle some of the chorizo-tomato stew on top of the garlic croutons, toss a little of the zesty parsley sprinkle over the stew, and serve.
