So I ended up using half chicken stock and half beef stock, and along with the typical chicken soup contents (carrots, celery, onions, and chicken), added a can of stewed tomatoes (with the juices), and a pound of cooked Mexican chorizo along with some rotini pasta. Really, *really* good for those icy winter days, or when you've got a cold and can hardly taste anything...or tent camping in the fall!
