Steps:
- ADVANCED PREP FOR BEANS:.
- DRIED BEANS: Place black beans in a large bowl and cover with 1 gallon of water. Add 3 tablespoons salt and stir until dissolved. Cover and set aside at room temperature overnight.
- CANNED BEANS: Drain and rinse 2 28-oz. cans of black beans.
- PREPARE CHICKEN:.
- The next day, season chicken with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or saucepot over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add chicken and cook without moving until well browned on 1st side, about 5 minutes.
- Flip chicken and cook until 2nd side is browned, about 3 minutes longer.
- Remove chicken from pot with tongs and set aside on a large plate.
- COOK CHORIZO & PEPPERS:.
- Add chorizo to Dutch oven/saucepot. Cook, stirring occasional, until chorizo is crisp and starting to char, about 4 minutes.
- Add scallion whites, 1 finely chopped Serrano pepper, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add chopped chipotles and their sauce. Cook, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- (IF USING DRIED BEANS) Add 1 1/2 quarts low-sodium chicken broth and bay leaves.
- (IF USING CANNED BEANS) Add 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth and bay leaves.
- Drain and rinse black beans and add to pot. Nestle chicken pieces into beans. Bring to a boil, reduce to a bare simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally until beans and chicken are tender.
- (IF USING DRIED BEANS) The cooking time should be 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- (IF USING CANNED BEANS) The cooking time should be 30 minutes.
- Remove and discard bay leaves and skins from chicken.
- Using a ladle, carefully transfer 2 cups of beans and chorizo with liquid to a blender. (Some blenders may require some cooling off time before blending; a Vitamix does not!) Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Stir mixture back into pot.
- If you want a thicker soup, scoop up more beans and chorizo and blend that. To make it easier for dinner guests, you can shred the meat off the chicken and mix it into the stew; otherwise, they will need a fork and knife in addition to a soup spoon, and probably strong napkins.
- Serve chicken and beans with scallion greens, avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, sliced Serrano peppers and sour cream at the table for garnish.

BLACK BEAN-CHORIZO STEW
This chili-like stew relies on spicy, fresh green chorizo for its bright, zesty flavor. It only takes half an hour to make your own green chorizo, but you can substitute any kind of fresh (uncured) store-bought sausage, as long as it's got a kick. Then add some chopped garlic, along with minced parsley and roasted poblano pepper for the green factor. Serve it over rice, or with corn or flour tortillas on the side. Here are several other dishes you can make with chorizo.

Steps:
- Cook chorizo, onion, garlic, bell pepper, pepper flakes, cumin, and salt in oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.

Tips:
1. Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process much smoother and enjoyable. 2. Sautéing: When sautéing the chorizo and chicken, make sure to use a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. This will help to brown the meat and prevent it from sticking. 3. Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still tender and juicy. 4. Use a Variety of Vegetables: This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including onions, celery, carrots, and bell peppers. Feel free to add other vegetables that you like, such as zucchini, corn, or spinach. 5. Simmer the Soup: After the vegetables have been added, bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if desired. This will help to develop the flavors of the soup. 6. Garnish the Soup: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and crumbled queso fresco. This will add a pop of flavor and color to the soup.Conclusion:
This black bean soup with chorizo and chicken is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
