Wow.  I was blown away at the layers of flavor and the complexity of this easy to make dish.  My only complaint is that the time to char a whole eggplant is grossly underestimated, at least with my oven.  I'd recommend at least twenty minutes under the broiler, not ten.  Aside from that minor nit, which may not be a nit at all given my oven's inconsistent performance, I thought this recipe was fantastic and, though I made it for myself, I could see it as a clear one-pot crowd pleaser (if they are into Indian food).

Phenomenal result for an easy and fast dish.

Easy and delicious. While it's a bit long for a worknight, there's very little preparation for this dish.  It's a great meal for Sunday night when you don't feel like making a big production of dinner.  The chicken broth, thyme, onion, and garlic combine to provide nice depth of flavor to the polenta.  The chicken makes it a stand-alone, one-dish meal.

Easy, but not especially rewarding.

People will think you spent hours in the kitchen getting the depth of flavor the chorizo adds to this simple and fast soup.  Easy and rewarding.
