I first found this recipe on allrecipes.com and it was pretty good. I don't think I've ever made it exactly as it says because I like to mix things up a bit. But here is how I like to make my soup.
Chicken and Chorizo Soup (in the slow cooker)
1 chopped onion
1 lb chorizo (we used deer chorizo)
1-2 lbs chicken (depends how much I want to use)
1-2 Tbsp Worcestershire
galic salt to taste
chili powder to taste
cumin to taste
(I use quite a bit of the seasonings. I like my food to have some flavor)
minced garlic
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans corn
1 can black beans, rinsed (optional, I only add this sometimes)
2-3 cups of water or chicken broth (depending on how soupy you want it.)
1/2-1 cup of milk or cream (depending on how creamy you want it)
sour cream and shredded cheese to serve with.
I chopped up my onion. I love onions. They bring such goodness and flavor to other foods!
Throw the chorizo and onions in a pan and cook together until the chorizo is brown and the onions are soft. I added a pinch of salt while sauteing. Drain.
Add chicken to the crock pot. As you can see mine was still very much frozen. It went in fine and tasted great when it cooked.
Add on the garlic salt and garlic and seasonings.
Add in corn, tomatoes, beans, chorizo, water/ broth (I typically use water with bullion cubes) and milk. Cook of low for 8 hours or more. Shred your chicken and stir.
I almost forgot to get a picture of the soup! This isn't the best picture. This is Michael's bowl and it was halfway gone. Oops. Top with sour cream and shredded cheese and enjoy. We usually have cheese quesadillas on the side. Yum!
I had friends over to share in our soup and this batch fed 5 adults, 5 kids and a baby with a little left over. It makes a ton. It also makes great leftovers.
