This recipe is a quick version of a wonderful soup I made in a Portuguese settlement in New England (Mystic, Connecticut) near the sea. It's perfect for a winter evening. If you're in Mystic and want to buy chorizo ​​for this soup, ask for "cheris" (that's how it's pronounced).

  • 2 medium-sized onions, chopped
  • 4-6 chopped garlic cloves
  • 2 fresh or dried bay leaves
  • Coarse salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 liter of chicken broth
