Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oil in Dutch oven or heavy pot and add the chorizo, cooking until it it crisps around the edges. 2 Add the onion, chili peppers, garlic, and spices. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes to bloom the spices. 3 Puree 2 cups of the beans (or one of the cans -rinsed and drained) with 1 cup of the chicken broth. I used my stick blender. Add to the pot with the remaining beans and broth and simmer over medium heat for a few minutes to thicken. 4 Meanwhile, poach or fry the eggs (easy over). 5 To serve, line the sides of the bowls with a few tortilla chips. Pour in the soup, top with the eggs and with the optional garnishes you desire.
