Chorizo and Chick Pea Soup
By Mog
This Chorizo and Chick Pea Soup is great for the colder weather and is really quick to make. You want to use the dried, cured Chorizo, usually found on the deli counter of the supermarket. When you buy your chorizo check to see if it has a papery casing on, if it does just remove it by running a knife along the edge and peeling it off.
