Chourico and Lima bean soup dish. One of the things I love about this recipe is how easy it is. This is a very hearty soup and it’s perfect to come home to because its all done in a slow cooker. I love to make this at home because is quick and easy to start in the morning and when you get home from work you have a great smelling meal and a hearty soup that eats more like a stew. For this recipe I used regular hot Portuguese chourico but I also like to use chourico mouro which is a much fattier chourico and tends to be better in soups.
