“A very flavorful Puerto Rican soup I got from one of my co-workers. It is fast, easy, and most of all delicious! I start it the night before serving by cooking the broth, onions, potatoes, and chorizo. That way the next day after work, all I have to do is add the remaining ingredients and heat through.” - by Pam Maxson-Rodriguez

1 pound diced cooked ham
2 chorizo sausage links, sliced
