Instructions

  • Finely chop the onion & chorizo and fry in a large saucepan with 1 tablespoon olive oil until the onion begins to soften

Notes

To make this soup vegetarian, simply omit the chorizo in step 1 and replace with 2 handfuls of cooked black beans in the final few minutes of cooking to warm them through.
