Chorizo Soup

== Description ==
This meaty, rich soup is made with real chorizo, herbs, cheese, and vegetables, and delivers a red-hot, bold flavor. White beans rarely work for this, too.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 pound firm-texture chorizo
* 1 large onion, chopped, red, white, or yellow only or (5 tablespoons onion powder)
* 3 cloves garlic, minced or (5 tablespoons garlic powder)
* ½ cup dehydrated masa flour or yellow cornmeal
* 3 diced roasted green chiles, skins and seeds removed, or (1 can chopped green chiles)
* 7 cups chicken broth, store-bought or homemade
* 4 teaspoons paprika
* ¾ cup shredded jack cheese
* ½ cup minced cilantro
== Directions ==
# Remove chorizo casings and crumble this into a 5- to 6-quart pan; just add the onion and garlic or the onion powder and garlic powder. Stir often over medium high heat until the meat and onion are browned, about 15 minutes.
# Mix masa with the chorizo base, then stir in chiles, paprika, and the chicken broth.
# Stirring often, bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer gently 20 minutes to blend flavors; stir frequently.
# Skim fat from the surface as it accumulates and discard.
# Ladle soup into bowls; just add the cheese and cilantro to taste. Serve warm and plain with any main dish, side dish, or appetizer.
