Spicy Chorizo Vegetable Soup

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Spicy Chorizo Vegetable Soup is my recipe  of the day with the blogging group Soup Saturday Swappers. We post monthly on various themes for soups,  stews, chowders and chili.

This month it’s national  potato month. I was getting down to the wire on what to make for this one. I had  intended to post an Irish Potato Chowder but seem to have misplaced the recipe. Don’t worry. It will turn up.

In the meantime I scrounged the kitchen for bits of stuff I could put into my soup. Diving into the freezer, I found a bag of roasted hatch chilies, some frozen corn, plus a bag of cooked  crumbled chorizo.

I will buy up chorizo then brown it off in  a skillet then pack it in a ziploc in the freezer. This will be used most often in omelets or mixed into  hash browns at breakfast, or perhaps a breakfast burrito. It also makes a quick addition to potato skins or nachos.

But in this case it finds its end in my soup. And I will pick up more and rinse, lather and repeat my strategy of cooking meats ahead.

The rest is quite simple and most people will have those around the kitchen. Don’t worry if you don’t have a stash of Hatch chilies. Cans of  chopped green chilies will be fine.
