Let’s talk about chorizo!

There are two kinds of chorizo and they’re quite different from each other. Spanish chorizo is a cured and dried sausage which is cooked and ready to eat. It’s typically made with pork and added paprika or smoked paprika, garlic, and any number of additional spices. For this soup, however, were using Mexican chorizo. Mexican chorizo is a raw ground meat mixture that needs to be cooked before serving. You can fry it up in a skillet, similar to how you cook ground beef. Typically, it’s a mixture of ground pork sausage and a variety of seasonings, but Mexican chorizo can also be made using ground beef or using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. It has a distinct and impressive red color due to the spices and seasonings used to make it. For this soup, you can use your favorite chorizo or homemade Mexican chorizo!

We combine roasted red peppers, canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, coconut milk, and fresh chopped basil to complete our soup. I used jarred roasted red peppers, but you can absolutely roast your own to use in this soup. For the tomatoes, either regular or petite diced are great options, depending on how chunky you’d like your soup to be. Chicken or vegetable broth are both great options for this soup. You can use coconut milk or coconut cream for this soup; but you’ll want to make sure you’re using the creamy kind from a can and not the thinned down kind from a carton. The fresh basil adds amazing color, flavor, and texture to this soup!
