SWEET POTATO, SPINACH AND MEXICAN CHORIZO SOUP

Sweet Potato, Spinach and Mexican Chorizo Soup image

A pot of soup steaming away on the stove is a great way to chase away the chill. You can substitute any other kind of fresh sausage for the chorizo in this soup, like a spicy Italian sausage or even breakfast sausage, although you might want to spice the broth up with some red chile flakes if you use a mild one. This soup comes together quickly once you brown the sausage-basically just put everything in the pot and let the heat do its magic. A generous amount of chopped cilantro at the end adds amazing flavor.

Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth.
Don't be afraid to add spice: Mexican potato soup is traditionally made with a variety of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Feel free to adjust the amount of spice to your liking.
Top the soup with your favorite toppings: Serve the soup with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
