There is really very little to this vegetable and chorizo soup recipe, in terms of both effort and ingredients, and yet it’s one of the most flavorful soups I’ve ever made. Roasting brings out the best flavors of the vegetables and they need very little embellishment beyond that. It’s worth trying to find some really good quality all-natural chorizo or other spicy sausage, to make it all the healthier.
