This Puerto Rican Chorizo Soup is my meatless version of the traditional recipe. This hearty soup is the perfect comfort food for cold and rainy days. Great for fall and winter!
In Puerto Rico, chorizo soup is a Spanish colonial legacy. Have you tried chorizo? Chorizo is a type of pork sausage that is popular in Spanish cuisine. It is made from pork, paprika, and other spices, and is typically cured and smoked.
With all the plant-based meat replacements we have nowadays, is easy to veganize a traditional recipe that calls for meat. I used the same seasonings used in the traditional recipe but replace the meat with vegan chorizo.
This Puerto Rican Chorizo Soup Vegan Recipe is:
- Vegan
- Harty
- The perfect comfort food

Also, this soup recipe is a great idea for meal prep. If you would like a thicker consistency, use less broth or add more veggies. If you like soups check out my Puerto Rican Vegan Sancocho my Chickpea Creamy Vegan Soup and my favorite one Asopao de Gandules con Bolitas de Platanos Vegano
My non-vegan family enjoyed this recipe and had seconds. I made a big pot of this soup and saved the leftovers for the next few days. We enjoyed it with white rice and avocado slices. The best about having leftover soup is that the flavors become richer as they sit together for a longer time.
