Delicious! I didn't have chorizo (due to where I live I couldn't get any in a pinch, so I cooked up some bacon and used some of the grease along with olive oil and first sautéed the veggies (sans potatoes. Also, I did not have white wine so I used the water I poached the chicken in and added another cup of water along with a chicken bullion cube, then followed directions. Only regret is that I didn't double this, with a family of five I had no seconds let alone leftovers. Also, I used the cooked bacon in place of the sausage.

Great new idea for chicken leftovers and easy to thrown in the crockpot instead of stovetop.
I tweeked it by rendering some bacon and using the drippings to slightly brown the potatoes before adding them and then I added the lardons to the pot. I also added fire-roasted tomatoes for a bit more depth of flavor.
The chorizo I used was very vinagery so I'll need to use a different brand next time or add a bit more sugar to offset all that acid.

Love it! The sausage, tomatoe and white wine makes this dish a winner. I ran out of carrots and I used mushroons - yummy!

I made this dish years ago from watching the episode and the instructions are different on this site. But overall it's a wonderful and flavorful dish and my family always enjoy it!

Simple and easy to make, you can vary the amount of seasoning and flavor by the sausage/chorizo you use. I used mild as my four children won't eat spicey foods. They all gave this one a favorable review, and even happily ate the leftovers for lunch the next day

This is SO easy! It's incredibly quick to prepare. Even at high altitude (7,000 ft it cooks up fast (about an hour. I use a real Mexican loose chorizo, cook it in a pan until half done then add cut up chicken thighs to cook with it the rest of the way. I eliminate the wine and use extra broth. If you want you can leave out the additional liquid and have more of a stew.

This is not terribly flavorful. Next time, I would try to modify it a bit. Perhaps add some garlic or peppers for heat? It's a healthy, easy one pot meal, though. There's not quite enough liquid to call it a realy soup, but too much for it not to be soup like.

Although the individual elements of this dish were each good on their own, they just didn't come together quite right. The chorizo, chicken, broth, and vegetables in the finished product were all very good, but the combination didn't meld right into one cohesive dish.

If you decide to make this dish, I would recommend cutting the various ingredients into smaller pieces than those recommended by the recipe.

I think the recipe is wrongly named as this is soup with chicken in it.
I added cornstarch to make it a bit more hearty.

I have made this several times now. If Chorizo is not available or you don't want to use it, any kind of sausage works well. I have used low-fat turkey Kielbasa. The broth with the chicken stock, tomato sauce and especially the dry white wine is really the key. Great made with Trader Joe's inexpensive Charles Shaw Sauvignon Blanc.
