SWEET POTATO, SPINACH AND MEXICAN CHORIZO SOUP

Sweet Potato, Spinach and Mexican Chorizo Soup image

A pot of soup steaming away on the stove is a great way to chase away the chill. You can substitute any other kind of fresh sausage for the chorizo in this soup, like a spicy Italian sausage or even breakfast sausage, although you might want to spice the broth up with some red chile flakes if you use a mild one. This soup comes together quickly once you brown the sausage-basically just put everything in the pot and let the heat do its magic. A generous amount of chopped cilantro at the end adds amazing flavor.
