Packed with big flavor, this Turnip Greens Soup will comfort your soul. Featuring chorizo, [chor-EE-zoh, chor-EE-soh] a spicy pork sausage, this soup has a little kick that pairs well with turnip greens. Mexican chorizo is made with fresh pork (unlike Spanish chorizo, which uses smoked pork) and can be found in most supermarkets and Latin groceries. Remove the casings, and crumble the sausage before cooking. Substitute another spicy uncooked sausage if you can’t find Mexican chorizo.
