Hello everyone this is Debra Clark from Bowl Me Over. Today I’m sharing an easy and delicious Chorizo Black Bean Soup!

This soup is full of big bold flavors, but only takes minutes to prepare. By saving out some of the black beans it offers great texture. Authentic flavors and spices like chorizo, cumin, coriander and jalapeño give it great warmth and heat. Chorizo Black Bean Soup celebrates the flavors of central California. It’s a delicious meal to enjoy, easy to make, rich thick and satisfying!
