Oh man, I REALLY loved this recipe last night and it hit the spot with our cold rainy weather. It’s a comforting and creamy texture without the addition of cream. It has just enough spice from the chorizo that it fires up your tastebuds. I also enjoy the addition of kale for the health factor, texture and crunch, but you can leave it out if you’re not a fan and you’ve still got a great soup. Or you can serve the kale in a salad on the side.
