This South West Soyrizo Double Potato Soup recipe was submitted by Jenn Tidwell from Fair Oaks California. Here's what Jenn had to say when she submitted the recipe:

"This almost sweet, definitely savory and a bit spicy potato soup is a mouth full. I created this recipe with my boyfriend in mind, who loves soup in general, I also kept myself happy by using the soyrizo. Soyrizo is just as tasty as the real deal chorizo, however this option is a much healthier alternative. Topped with tangy sour cream, creamy avocado and a super sweet Clementine wedge this soul-satisfying comfort dish is complete!"

Over the years, I've prepared this recipes myself a few time and the soup always turned out well. If you're looking for another comfort food to add to your recipe collection this is it.

This sounds delicious, I will definitely try this out. Interesting that I did not know there was a soy alternative to Chorizo. The rest of the recipe sounds real good.
