Easy Chourico Soup

As long as you have the right kind of chourico, you cannot mess up this filling, slightly spicy soup. Its perfect for an autumn or winter meal, and can easily be adapted for vegans by using soyrizo (see note) instead of chourico. You can also use other vegetables, such as butternut squash or kale. I like to use organic spinach and vegetable broth when they are available.

Easy Chourico Soup Ingredients

• 5 ounces Portuguese chourico, diced

• 1 red onion, diced

• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, with liquid

• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

• 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced

• 4 cups vegetable broth

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

• 5 ounces baby spinach

• salt and ground black pepper

How to Make Easy Chourico Soup

1. Cook the chourico in a soup pot over medium-high heat until it releases some oil. Add the chopped onion; stir and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Mix in the garbanzo beans, diced tomatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, and thyme. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.

2. Stir the baby spinach into the soup and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Easy Chourico Soup Reviews

• I loved this I doubled the recipe and added extra sausage. I could not find dried Chorico sausage so I used Andouille. Yum

• This is so simple yet flavorful. Chourico is the same as hard chorizo, which is what I used. I subbed chicken stock for the vegetable and baby kale instead of spinach. I will use sweet onion the next time I make this because I didnt care for the look of the red onion but that has no bearing on the taste. Thanks, Ashley This is a winner.

• This was really great and hearty This had a lovely balance of sweet and spicy. It seems very healthy too I did make some changes though. I used chicken chorizo, black beans instead of garbanzo, and zuccini instead of spinach.

• This was a very flavorful soup. I enjoyed the ingredients and the taste a texture of it completely. Not a soup person but the ingredients were things I like. It was just smokey and spicy enough for my taste. It was extremely easy to make.

• Truly easy to make and the entire fam loved it. Only suggestion would be to add another 8-12 ounces of broth. Highly recommend it.

• We really liked this soup I did use Soyrizo and "No Chicken, Chicken Broth", the only changes I made were adding three cloves minced garlic and about 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves. Yummy Thank you

• Very good, I did not have Chorico so I used a red pepper and spinach chicken sausage and it was great.

• I did not use chickpeas and used kale instead of spinach
