Thrifty Ree Drummond made this soup using only what she had in her pantry, adding gnocchi from the freezer. So, this recipe is perfect for when, for example, bad weather keeps you from going out to buy groceries. Filled with corn, beans, chili peppers, and chorizo, the soup is deliciously flavorful and filling.
