Wow! I was blown away when my Dad first cooked me this soup. Not from the spiciness (which depending on your chorizo can range from mild to hot). It was just so, so delicious. It’s got this smoky, Mediterranean, tomato flavor that makes my mouth water just writing about it. It really is a fast and easy soup recipe too (only 15 minutes to prepare and cook) which makes it a terrific weekend lunch served with some crusty bread.
