    Good and easy recipe, only thing I would recommend is to add the chorizo to the soup in the last 5 minutes of cooking, frying in a pan loses the wonderful smokie flavour. You really want that in the soup.

    Also use Portuguese chorizo NOT Spanish, it has loads more flavour and much less fat content.
