Chorizo-Chicken Chiloup! (paleo chili or soup?)

I started out thinking that this recipe would be a soup, but then it had a little bit of a resemblance to a chili, or maybe a stew…so I asked my trusted Facebook folks and they advised calling it a Chiloup, Stilli, Stewli, Schillew, and even a Stoup!  So, take your pick, but definitely try this recipe if you like a little spice with your comfort food and give this version of paleo chili a try!
