This looks really good- I have been looking for more ways to use chorizo! It will be an under 5 for me- they have fresh chorizo in the meat department of my grocery store and it is always under 3 dollars a pound- usually around 2.49!

I did this with sweet italian sausage because I couldn’t find chorizo. It was delicious. I will be making this again (and soon)!

Kimberly,

She recommends serving the soup with broccoli and bread slices. If you were to use canned beans, I’d use 2-3 cans, as a pound of dry makes about that much.

Sounds delish for a snowy day like today! Just curious–I want to use canned black beans–no time to soak–how many cans should I use? Also, did you serve a side dish with this or do you have a bread to recommend to serve with this?
Thank you!

You are forgiven! Besides, you used the chorizo in an otherwise frugal meal, and you helped your local farmers, and I bet it was really delicious!

I will have to try this! Also, if you want a vegetarian version with similar taste, Trader Joe’s has a soy chorizo that is very tasty and sells for somewhere between $2 and $3.

With just normal chorizo this would definitely be under $5, so I’d say it counts!

Your totally forgiven for this not costing $5. Still, very inexpensive meal and I’ll bet it tasted wonderful!!

If you take the meat out completely and add more veggies, then the cost really goes down. Substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and it now is a vegetarian meal!!
