   Cut the chorizo into small cubes and fry them in a large pan over medium heat until crispy, about 3 minutes. Spoon them out of the pan and set aside.In the remaining chorizo fat, sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the smoked paprika and stir well.Add the drained white beans and the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and let simmer gently for 10 minutes.Puree half of the soup with an immersion blender directly in the pan. This gives a creamy base while still leaving some bite from the whole beans.Stir the heavy cream into the soup and season with salt, pepper and a splash of lemon juice. Warm for another 2 minutes over low heat.Ladle the soup into deep bowls. Scatter the crispy chorizo on top and garnish with fresh parsley and a thin drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
