Chicken Chorizo Gumbo
If any of you have followed my recipes, you usually will notice they aren’t spicy or contain black pepper. Well, this one is different. With Fall in the air and cooler weather, it’s soup season.
With that, and the fact my guys like spicy stuff, I decided to combine the Chicken and Chorizo for a Gumbo.
Chicken Chorizo Gumbo
A warm and hearty gumbo perfect for a fall evening or for tailgaiting.

Notes
*Mixed seasoning - usually a combination of celery, peppers and onions.
Handy to have on hand for many dishes you prepare
Add more peppers or onions if desired
Could use a rotisserie chicken, or any leftover chicken
Great recipe for crock pot - after mixing all, cook on low 3 - 4 hours
Chorizo was chopped into smaller pieces after sauteeing
Saute’ seasoning
Slice, sautee’, drain Chorizo
