Dice the pork and combine with chorizo spice mix. Refrigerate over night.

Cover the beans with water and let sit over night.

Cut the leaks in half and  slice thin. Keep some of the leak tops for cooking with the beans

Add the meat back with the beans along with the water they were cooked in. Add the potato and chicken broth. Simmer until the potatoes are tender
