By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz. each)  White Beans in Sauce, divided
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tbsp.  Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus more for garnish
• 1 pkg. (3.5 oz.)  Chorizo, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Add 1 can white beans in sauce and chicken broth to blender; puree until very smooth, about 1 minute; set aside.

Heat oil in medium pot over medium-high heat. Add chorizo. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chorizo to paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Add remaining can white beans in sauce and reserved white bean puree to pot; bring bean mixture to boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until soup thickens, about 5 minutes.

Stir 2 tbsp. cilantro and most of reserved chorizo into pot; evenly divide soup among serving bowls. Garnish with remaining cilantro and chorizo. Drizzle with olive oil; serve.
