This hearty and delicious one-pot meal is a step up from your typical chicken soup thanks to the addition of smoky chorizo. The Mexican sausage is available at most supermarkets, and adds tons of flavor with its unique mix of spices. The soup comes together in under an hour, which makes it a perfect comforting dinner for weeknights when you don't have a ton of time. If you prefer, you can use chopped plum tomatoes in place of canned during peak season. Stirring in baby kale at the end gives it a vibrant and gorgeous color with a bonus nutrient boost.

Mealthy Tip

Don't confuse Mexican chorizo with the Spanish version, which is cured with a different mix of spices and stored at room temperature. Mexican chorizo contains raw pork, and needs to be refrigerated. Look for at at your local butcher shop if you can't find it at the supermarket.
