Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Chorizo Chicken Soup.
Step 1
Begin by heating olive oil in a large pot over high heat, then add butter and allow it to melt.
Step 2
Introduce cubed chicken to the pot, seasoning it generously with Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
SautΓ© the chicken until itβs cooked through and no longer pink in the center, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Next, stir in minced garlic and let it cook for an additional minute before removing the chicken from the pot and setting it aside.
Step 5
In the same pot, add chorizo sausage, cooking it over medium-high heat while breaking it into smaller pieces until it achieves a rich, dark golden brown, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 6
Pour in chicken stock and add a can of Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, then return the cooked chicken along with any accumulated juices to the pot.
Step 7
Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 8
After simmering, stir in heavy cream and let the soup continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Step 9
Taste your creation and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed.
Step 10
Serve this hearty soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, a dusting of grated Parmesan, and a dollop of sour cream for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 11
Enjoy a bowl of warmth that brings comfort and flavor to your table.
