As you might remember, we are huge fans of American Chop Suey in our house. We probably make it every other week or so. It’s easy to make and incredibly delicious, so it’s definitely a go-to meal for our family.
I recently had the opportunity to partner with Imagine Foods to develop a recipe using one of their creamy soups. I chose Imagine Organic Creamy Tomato Soup to incorporate into a spicy version of our beloved American Chop Suey. This version is made with ground chorizo, canned tomatoes and green chilies, elbow pasta, and a little bit of hot sauce.
Ingredients:
- 10 ounces Imagine Organic Creamy Tomato Soup
- 2.25 cups dry elbow pasta
- 1 pound ground chorizo
- 10 ounces canned tomatoes & diced green chilies, drained (I used Ro-Tel)
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (more if you can handle the heat!)
Directions:
Cook pasta as directed. Meanwhile, heat chorizo in a skillet on the stove top. Use a spatula or fork to break it up as you cook it.
When the pasta is finished cooking, drain the water and then add it to a large mixing bowl along with the Imagine Organic Creamy Tomato Soup, canned tomatoes & diced green chilies, chorizo, and hot sauce.
Mix it all together and serve immediately.
Just like traditional American Chop Suey, this recipe is super easy to make, really filling, and makes some seriously tasty leftovers. It’s most definitely a winning recipe, and I have a good feeling it will become another go-to meal in our house!
Serving suggestion: Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan on top. So good.
Makes 6 servings

The recipe I’ve been waiting for! Thank you!! This is on our menu for Sunday dinner š
What is the original American Chop Suey recipe? I cant find it anywhere, the links I found arent working, I want to try that one first then this one! Thanks š
I love Imagine soups! Perfect starter for a ton of different recipes.
That looks amazing! I am definitely going to try it out soon, and looks like it will be boyfriend approved!
I never thought about making American Chop Suey with soup! I always just use pasta sauce. Also, I love the addition of chorizo!
This looks like a great meal to make on Sunday and reheat for lunches all week too… I might have to try that out!
I make something very similiar to this but call is goulash! But I used tomato juice and morningstar crumbles to make it veggie š Yum!
@Melanie:
We call it goulash too! I have never heard of chop suey until this blog š
@Jessica H.: We also call it goulash. Must be a regional thing. I’m in Michigan.
not gonna lie – don’t think i’ve ever had chop suey before lol
Ahhh that looks so good! I love chorizo – it’s so flavorful!
We are big American Chop Suey people in our household, though we actually haven’t had it lately. We usually mix it up by throwing in sauteed peppers and onions as well as some Worcestershire sauce. This is a fun new take on it that we’ll definitely have to try!
Mmmm, this looks so delicious! It also appeals to me because it sounds super easy and seems great for leftovers – my kinda meal!
I love chop suey and haven’t made it in forever. My Mom used to make in a pan slow cooker thing. The house would smell amazing. I always looked forward to it. Now I need to make it!
This looks amazing! I will definitely give it a go soon š
I’m curious about American Chop Suey. I had never heard of it before watching the reality show “Walburgers”. So, I’m wondering if it’s a Boston thing? But, I see others here seem to recognize it. I’m from Michigan, when my mom made Chop Suey it was the more Chinese kind with bean sprouts and water chesnuts. I think there was a can that she used. Anyway, just curious. It looks good!
@Kate: I live in Illinois and I have never heard of it either š
Looks like Fridays dinner to me š
I’d love to try this with crumbled tofu! I bet it’d still be great (if you like tofu that is :))!
@Alex @ True Femme: I am going to make it tonight with crumbled veggie burgers š
This looks great and is super simple! I have wanted to find more ways to use soups in meals and this looks like a good place to start!
Yum this looks amazing!
Looks delicious! I love meals like this that I can easily throw together!
