This Chorizo Sausage Kale Soup with sweet potato is easy, healthy, and flavorful meal.  Made with fresh vegetables simmered in a rich chicken broth with the savory chorizo adding a nice kick.  And it's made in less than an hour!

Sometimes I don't have a lot of time to make dinner, so I need something quick to put on the table.  Like this week and dealing with our new foster puppy, Nola.  Honesty, I'm at my wit's end because I have no time at all to do anything with her around.  She's a typical puppy, getting into everything, so I feel like I'm watching her every second of the day and it's exhausting.

Luckily, Nola will sit in the kitchen chewing on a bone for about 20 minutes while I'm cooking, so dinner tonight needs to be fast and easy.  It also needs to be Paleo because it's Monday and the eating-like-crap weekend is over.

I made this Chorizo sausage kale soup with homemade chicken broth and my favorite local farm's pastured raised pork chorizo links that I had on hand in the freezer.  Added a nice large bunch of fresh kale from my organic CSA box from this past weekend and sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, and tomato from the pantry.  I chopped everything up, threw it in the pot and let it cook, then I grilled the chorizo for an extra layer of flavor.

The local farm raised chorizo I use is very spicy and well seasoned, so I don't need to put a lot of spices in the broth.  Easy, healthy, fresh, and absolutely delicious.  Plus, I don't feel like a slug after I eat it.

    I love this recipe. Ut is amazing, so few ingredients yet incredibly flavorful. I use our local purveyor of smoked chorizo, Olympic Provisions. And so healthy and rejuvenating. Thank you so much, I make it probably once a month.
