    2 tbsp (25 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
    1 onion, chopped
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
    4 cups (1 L) sodium-reduced chicken stock (or Homemade Chicken Stock)
    2 cups (500 mL) cubed peeled potato
    1 bunch arugula (3 cups/750 mL), stemmed
    1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
    Garnish:
    1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
    1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped chorizo sausage

Preparation:

In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, garlic, salt and pepper, stirring often, until softened, 4 minutes.

Add stock, 3 cups (750 mL) water and potato; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. In batches, transfer to blender or food processor and purée until smooth. Return to saucepan. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate until cold. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 days.)

Garnish: Meanwhile, in small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté sausage until browned, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, slice arugula into thin strips. Bring soup to boil and remove from heat; add arugula and lemon juice. Serve sprinkled with sausage.
