Steps:
- In a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo until browned.
- Add the onions, garlic, celery, carrots, jalapeños, and spinach to the pot and sauté with the chorizo until the vegetables start to become tender, about 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the lentils, tomatoes, and chicken broth and bring it all to a simmer. Stir in the taco seasoning.
- Cover and reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are soft. Stir often to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom of the pan. When the lentils are soft and the soup has thickened.

SPICY CHORIZO AND RED LENTIL SOUP WITH KALE
This recipe, adapted from "The Alaska from Scratch" Cookbook," by Maya Wilson, transforms a brothy lentil soup into a spicy, warming main dish with the addition of fresh Mexican-style chorizo and chopped kale. This simple winter dinner also features carrots, which grow unusually sweet in Alaska's summer light and temperatures, and are a root-cellar staple. Sweet or spicy Italian sausage works well as a substitute for the chorizo.

MEXICAN LENTIL SOUP WITH CHORIZO
My son traveled from Alabama to Guatemala by car one summer. In doing so he intensified his love of the Mexican people and their food. This is a soup that he ate at one of the "Familias". A familia is family that feeds and houses travelers. It was the next best thing to actually staying with Mexican families.

SPANISH LENTIL SOUP WITH CHORIZO
When I first arrived in Córdoba, Spain to study for a year, the cook in my dorm served this, my first lunch in my new home. I had never had lentils before, but this dish quickly became my absolute favorite. My additions to the recipe are the garlic, onion and potato; I tried carrot once but I overcooked it and was traumatized by the mushiness, so I haven't done that since. The best part about this recipe is it costs less than $10 to make and feeds many.
