Ingredients
- 1 pound dried black beans
- 1 ham hock
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 bell pepper chopped (preferably red but green works too)
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 12 oz. chicken chorizo sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
For serving: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, chopped fresh cilantro, hot sauce
Instructions
- Add everything but the chorizo to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
- After 8 hours, remove the bay leaf and ham hock from the soup and discard.
- Use a potato masher and lightly mash the beans.
- Add the seared chorizo to the soup and stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for an additional 45 minutes to let the flavors combine.
- Taste and adjust seasonings and serve warm, with desired toppings.
Notes
- Ham hocks are a Southern favorite for flavoring soup, especially on a budget. If you can’t find any, you could substitute chopped salted pork, chopped smoked bacon or chopped smoked ham.I prefer the black beans partially mashed after they have cooked. I think it gives more texture and creaminess to the soup, but you can skip that step if you prefer.If you’d prefer to use regular chorizo, cook it in a medium pan and either stir it into the soup at the very end or serve the soup with the crumbled chorizo sprinkled on top.
