I want to make a chorizo and lentil soup in the next day or two. I am having aproblem finding fresh chorizo. What would you sub for the chorizo?
Andouille, linguica, kielbasa.
Those are subs for cured chorizo.
Fresh chorizo is crumbly sausage.
I make my lentil soup with cured chorizo, though.
True. I was thinking of things that would work in a soup rather than trying to approximate the original ingredient.
What would you suggest?
There are two kinds of Chorizo that I know of. It should be noted that they are not the same sausage (much like a Spanish tortilla bears no relation to the Mexican tortilla).
One is a crumbly Mexican sausage that comes in a plastic casing. The other is a hard Spanish sausage that is laced heavily with paprika, and is used in many Paella recipes.
