Chorizo Chicken Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 pound chorizo sausage, casings removed
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, for topping
Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel to its maximum temperature, then pour in the olive oil. Next, add the butter and combine them thoroughly, stirring constantly to create a uniform mixture. Add the chicken pieces and sprinkle with a blend of seasonings, including the savory flavor of Worcestershire sauce, the aromatic essence of garlic salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook the chicken until it reaches an opaque, non-pink center, then stir in minced garlic to enhance its flavor. Remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a serving plate, setting it aside for later use.
2
In the same cooking vessel, continue to heat the chorizo over a moderate-high temperature, breaking up any large chunks with a spoon as it cooks. The chorizo should transform into a rich, dark golden brown color. Once achieved, stir in the chicken stock, diced tomatoes, and the previously cooked chicken along with its juices. Gradually decrease the heat to a lower setting and allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
To add richness to the soup, stir in a generous amount of heavy cream and continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. At this point, season the soup with a pinch of salt to bring out its full flavor.

Serve the soup hot, garnished with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and a dollop of sour cream on top.
