Chorizo & Bean Stew

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat a medium saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute. Remove the plastic casing from the chorizo and cook for 6 minutes, breaking into crumbles while it cooks.

2. 2

   Add onions and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, vegetable stock, salt, bay leaf, and stir. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes.

   Remove bay leaf. Serve the soup and top each serving with sour cream and Cotija cheese. Enjoy!
