One-Pot Chorizo and Kale Soup
20 minute reals…
This is something I whipped together the other night, and have been craving it ever since. You all know PaleoPot for slow cooker recipes, yet this blog will be growing to include one-pot stovetop recipes as well. Sometimes they just work best with what you have on hand when you don’t have the time to wait for your slow cooker. All you need is a deep pot, stock pot, or dutch oven type pot. Something that’s about 6 quarts or larger will do.
What you need:
- One pound of chorizo sausage, quartered lengthwise and then chopped into 1/2″ pieces.
- 1/2 Tbsp of coconut oil.
- One can of coconut milk.
- 2 cups of chicken stock.
- 1 cup of water.
- 1 medium white onion, chopped.
- 1/2 medium red onion, chopped. (optional)
- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced (optional).
- Enough kale to cover the top of your pot (about 3 handfuls).
- 1/4 tsp of sea salt.
- 1/4 tsp of red pepper or chipotle flakes.
How you make it:
- Add your coconut oil to your pot and set the heat to medium.
- Add your chorizo and raise heat to medium high. Stir chorizo until it starts to sizzle and gains a light sear.
- Lower your heat back to medium low while you chop your onions and pepper.
- Add your onions, jalapeno, salt, and red pepper flakes and stir well.
- Once onions are slightly softened and colored by the chorizo, add your coconut milk, chicken stock, and water.
- Raise your heat to medium high again until the liquid reaches a simmer.
- Drop is as much kale to your pot that will cover the surface of the liquid, then stir the leaves in well.
- Lower your heat to medium low and cover.
- Let pot simmer lightly for about 20 minutes, then enjoy.
- Garnish with some red pepper paste like I did if you are awesome.
I hope this type of recipe works out for you all. It really is a super tasty and easy meal and is a good representation of how I usually improvise dinners. If you like the addition of one-pot meals here, please let me know in the comments section. If you have requests for one-pot meals you’d like to see, go for it!

Yay! I’m making this tonight. I just discovered this website and I love it. For a single guy, a huge crockpot meal or big pot of soup is perfect
Glad you like it Noah, let me know how it turns out for you!
MMMMM! I’ve tried the hamburger meatloaf, and the sweet potato layered with beef crockpot recipes, and those were fine enough, but not something I would serve to most company! Not like I have company anyway, but this… This is something quick and easy that can feed guests, and it’s super good! I’m so proud of myself
I know exactly what you mean. Thanks!
Looks and sounds yummy. From someone that really doesn’t like to cook but trying to get the family to eat healthier. More ‘one pot’ easy meals, pls!
Would love to see the addition of one pot meal here. This soup looks amazing, I’m making it tonight! Thanks for the great recipes!
Thanks for the recipe. I made this tonight and it was delicious!
Love the idea of the quick one-pot meals.
I would like to see them under a special heading or with some other way to distinguish them as quick meals. As your collection grows, it will save me browsing thru the whole site to find them.
I’m new to your site but I’m loving it.
Out of curiosity, how many servings is this? Maybe I missed it.
I’d say about four servings…
I made this tonight. I doubled the soup, but kept the chorizo amount the same (cut down on some calories and fat) and used lite coconut milk. I also added fresh nutmeg, as I always do when I cook with dark greens. It’s so wonderfully rich and complex! YUM!
Mmm, the addition of the nutmeg sounds great!
Yes, please do more one pot meals! But don’t say “20 minute reals” when the soup had to simmer for 20 minutes after I did all the other stuff. I was bummed when I got to that part of the recipe b/c I’m STARVING!
made this last night! It was amazing!!! I think i might use less sausage next time to cut down on the fat but it was delish!!! Will def put this in my dinner rotation! I’m new to paleo, so this was a great way to get started!!
I made this last week and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing too!
This is my dinner tonight. It was quick, easy, and delicious!
I tried to find the chorizo that looks like the picture, but only found ground chorizo. Where do I find the chorizo sausage?
I made this for dinner tonight. It was very good! I substituted the Chorizo Sausage for “Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Sausage” and it was yummy. I used “lite” coconut milk and it was fine for the recipe.
Oh my stars! I’ve made many recipes from your site, but this is the best one yet.
I used spicy chorizo and left out the jalapeno & red pepper flakes. Then I thought decided it needed more kick and added cayenne. To.Die.For. Next time I’ll increase the Kale, but then I’m crazy for kale.
Wow!
Glad you liked it! I now often throw in enough kale to cover the surface and let it cook down.
Just made this tonight and can’t believe how delish it was! I’m not usually a soup girl, but I could eat soup every night if it was always this good. I subbed a andouille-style chicken sausage but think it’d be great with any spicy sausage. Thank you for sharing! I look forward to trying more of your recipes.
We love being Paleo! I use Portuguese Chourico instead of the chorizo and it has a bit more smokey heat rather than the straight heat of the peppers and chorizo. Great site!
Incredible, I added about 6 pieces of uncooked bacon chopped up, and let it cook with the chorizo. One of the better dinners I have made. Thanks!!
This soup is delicious! I made a double batch and we loved it. Thanks!
