Sopa Caldosa

We, in this household, are still battling bad colds, and this seemed like just the thing. Chicken soup, but with a spicy, vinegar-y twist:

Ingredients:
Chorizo:
1 pound ground pork or turkey
2 Tbs. cider vinegar
1 Tbs. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. dried organo
1/4 tsp. salt
1 garlic clove, crushed

Combine all in ziploc bag and mash until meat is coated. Let marinate 8 hours or overnight.

Soup:
2 bacon slices, chopped
8 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
1 large onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
5 cups chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can chickpeas, drained

Saute bacon until crisp in dutch oven. Add cabbage and onion and garlic, saute ten minutes. Add broth, chickpeas and tomatoes, bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. While soup is simmering, heat frying pan and cook chorizo until browned--about ten minutes. Ladle soup into bowls and top with 1/2 cup chorizo.
