Caldo Gallega
Submitted by: Pam Maxson-Rodriguez
A very flavorful Puerto Rican soup made with beans, chorizo and ham. I got from one of my co-workers. It is fast, easy, and most of all delicious! I start it the night before serving by cooking the broth, onions, potatoes, and chorizo. That way the next day after work, all I have to do is add the remaining ingredients and heat through.
