Seafood Or Meat-based Stew Or Soup Recipe

Prep Time

To start, gather all your ingredients. Prep includes dicing your potatoes, carrots, and celery; finely chopping your onions and garlic; and slicing your chorizo or sausage and seafood into bite-size pieces.

Cooking Process

Begin by heating your olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chorizo or sausage, and cook until it begins to brown. Next, add the onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent. Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery, cooking for a few minutes more. Pour in your vegetable broth, adding water if needed to cover the vegetables. Season with paprika, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, covered, for about 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add the shrimp or seafood, and green olives, cooking just until the seafood is done. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving Suggestions

This stew is best served hot, garnished with fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor. It pairs wonderfully with a crusty piece of bread to soak up the savory broth.
