Pea Soup With Chorizo and Chipotle Peppers image

This comfort soup gets a wonderful smokey flavor from from the Chorizo and Chipotle Peppers in adobo sauce. You can prepare the soup without the sausage blend the soup and then top with the cooked sausage. Or save some for garnish while blending the rest into the soup.
