Meanwhile, lightly spray a large, deep pot with oil and heat over medium heat. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes or until light golden. Add oregano, garlic, chipotle sauce and orange rind, cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in roasted pumpkin and stock and bring to the boil. Gently boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Blend to a smooth purée with a stick blender, then season with salt and pepper.

Stir half the chorizo in a small non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat for about 2 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned, then drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Divide half of the soup among 4 bowls and scatter over the chorizo.
