This filling soup is fantastic when you need to warm up on a blustery day! If you want a chowder consistency, use a potato masher to break down some of the spuds. -Laura Davis, Chincoteague, Virginia

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chorizo. I always have some leftover chorizo in my fridge and this soup is a great way to use it up. The soup is also very easy to make and it's always a hit with my family.
