Crock Pot Black Bean Chorizo Soup

This Crock Pot Black Bean Chorizo Soup is the perfect comfort food, but easy enough for a weeknight meal!

This is going to be short and sweet (but loaded with pictures) because my family has been struck down by the flu.

I’m the most recent victim.

It should be illegal for moms to get sick. It makes a busy challenging life . . . . absolutely miserable.

It should also be illegal for babies to get sick. Piper spiked a fever of 103 on Friday. I was rocking her and on every out breath she moaned a sad little sigh. Her squeaky giraffe couldn’t even make her smile. She’s better now, but oh my goodness, so sad.

But weather you are a sick parent, a busy working parent, god forbid a busy working sick parent, or just someone who needs a new weeknight dinner, you are going to want to try out this recipe. It’s just the crock pot version of this soup that I posted several years ago. It works perfect in the crock pot , and I love that you don’t have to keep an eye on things as you go. You just pop in all the ingredients and let your house smell amazing for a couple hours. My family LOVES this soup. Gavin even asks to take the leftovers in his lunch. So you know it’s an absolute winner.

If you are looking to lower the fat content and the calories just a little, switch out the chorizo for a similar sausage that is made from chicken or turkey. There are lots of different options on the market these days, and while the taste will differ a little, it will still be totally delicious.
