This recipe can be adapted to serve 6 to 8 by simply bumping up the bread, eggs and broth used. Add on 1 slice of bread and 1 egg preserving and 1 cup of broth per 2 additional servings.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan plus some for drizzling
  • 3/4 pound chorizo sausage, in packaged meats case near kielbasa, thinly sliced
  • 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 size red potatoes, halved and thinly sliced
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 (28-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes (recommended: Muir Glen)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 thick slices crusty farm house, country style bread
  • 1/2 cup flat- leaf parsley leaves, a few large handfuls, picked
  • 1 lemon, zest
  • 1 orange, zest
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, eyeball it
  • 4 eggs, 1 per serving

Directions

Preheat a medium soup pot over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of olive oil, about 2 tablespoons. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Add the 2 cloves chopped garlic, onion, celery, carrot, potatoes, thyme, salt and pepper, cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth and bring up to a bubble, turn the heat down to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Fill a medium skillet with warm water. Bring water to a gentle simmer over medium low heat. As the water is coming up to a simmer proceed with making the garlic croutons and the zesty parsley sprinkle.

Toast the bread in the broiler or in a toaster oven. Once the bread is toasted, rub with the cracked garlic and then drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over it and reserve.

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.

Once the water is at a bubble for poaching the eggs, pour the vinegar into the simmering water. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Gently pour the egg into the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining 3 eggs. Cook eggs for about 2 minutes for runny yolks, or about 4 for solid yolks. Do not allow the water to boil. Carefully remove the eggs with a slotted spoon to a towel-lined plate to drain.

To serve, pull thyme stems from chorizo-tomato stew, then arrange the garlic croutons in the bottom of 4 shallow soup bowls, ladle some of the stew on top of the garlic croutons, set eggs in place and sprinkle dish with zesty parsley sprinkle and serve.

    I really liked this and will definitely make it again! Good comfort food. The parsley-zest topping was well worth the extra effort. The orange flavor is wonderful! I think it would be great for a dinner party (with semi-adventurous guests because everything can be made ahead of time, except the eggs and toast, but the presentation is still impressive.

    Turned out to big a Big hit with my boyfriend and his friend. The garlic bread adds a nice bite to the soft froathiness of the poached egg. I made my own veggetarian version once. Removed the sausage (added more veggies and substituted chicken broth, for veggie .AMAZING!

    YOU ARE DUMB RATING A RECIPE USING MOUNTAIN DEW INSTEAD OF CHICKEN STOCK... HELLO? The two flavors are very different, so how can you judge a recipe if you didn't follow it? I can't stand people that do that! ANNOYING.
