Steps:
- In a large pot, cook chourico or sausage over low heat. Turn and cook until brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from pot and let cool. Cut sausage into slices. Remove any fat from pot, but leave the cooked on bits.
- Add oil to pot, add onion and cook on medium until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. As you stir, scrape up the bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add broth potatoes, and black pepper, bring to a boil and cook 20 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and either lightly mash the potatoes with a potato masher or food processor, or I like to use my immersion blender to puree the entire mixture.
- Add chourico or sausage, red pepper flakes and bring back to a simmer. Cook covered for about 4 minutes. Add kale and bring back to a simmer. Cook partially covered until the kale is cooked. Adjust salt if needed.
CALDO VERDE (PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP)
The simple kale and sausage soup is something I grew up on. We simply just called it Portuguese soup, even though that is really non-specific. In fact the Portuguese culture has a great variety of soups and stews in the mix. The kale soup I grew up on featured chouriço (pronounced: sir-reese); the Portuguese version of the...

Steps:
- 1. 1-In a small sauce pan bring your navy beans to a boil in 6 cups of water. Once it hits a boil, let sit off of heat in the water for 1 hour. 2-Drain from water and set navy beans aside. 3-In a large dutch oven or cooking pot, add light oil and heat through on medium high. 4-Once oil is at smoking temperature add linguica and chourico. Brown them on all sides with the pan covered. 5-Once sausages are browned completely, remove from heat and de-glaze your pan with the drippings left behind from the sausages. Set sausages aside. 6-Add your garlic and onions to the pan. Cook with pan covered. 7-Once garlic and onion are translucent, add in your broth. 8-Add bay leafs to broth. Simmer for 30 minutes. Bring to a boil and add your navy beans. Bring back to simmer for 1 hour. 9-Add salt, pepper, marjoram, red pepper flakes, and paprika. Continue to simmer for another half hour. 10-Add warm water. 11-Add kale to your broth and simmer for 2 hours. 12-Slice your sausages up into half inch pieces. Add them to the soup. 13-Add potatoes to the soup. Continue to simmer until potatoes are tender and kale is wilted completely. This could take another 1 or 2 hours. 14-Lower heat and let soup sit on low for about an hour before serving. (Letting it come down from simmer slow like this before serving really brings all the flavors out and lets them develop nice.)
PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP (CALDO VERDE)
I'm not sure where I found this recipe. It's more tomato-y than some versions (but then every one I've looked at here is quite different!). I'm also not sure whether herbs de Provence is appropriate to a Portuguese soup. But it's delicious, that's for sure!

CALDO VERDE (KALE SOUP)
Caldo Verde is probably the most loved and well known soup in Portugal. It's sometimes known as "Kale Soup" but this classic is not made the same way and not made with kale at all. This soup is made with a potato & onion puree, and collard greens.
