HEARTY PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP



Hearty Portuguese Kale Soup image

This is a very flavorful soup that is a comfort food for my family. The recipe was given to me by my Portuguese mil over 30 yrs ago. Her mother had passed it on to her. This soup is easily stretched to make more servings. The Chorizo gives the broth a good base for adding another can of beans or more pasta or a little water. Soul warming for a cold night, serve with a warm crusty bread. A great next day soup. Freezes well.

Categories     Soup/Stew

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb. garlic sausage, such as andouille, linguiça, or kielbasa
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
(about 1-1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, finely minced (2 tsp.)
4 medium red or white boiling potatoes
(about 1-1/2 lb.)
8 cups chicken stock, homemade, canned, or bouillon
12 cups trimmed and coarsely shredded kale
2 cups cooked beans, such as pinto, kidney or cannellini (See note, or use canned beans)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes, cut into chunks, and place in a bowl of cold water. Pierce the sausage, cover with water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes to remove excess fat. Drain, discard the water, slice the sausage into slices and reserve. In a 7-quart Dutch oven, heat the oil, add the onions and garlic and stir, sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add the potatoes, stirring, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Crush the potatoes lightly in the pot, using a potato masher. Add the shredded greens and simmer for 15 minutes more. Add the cooked beans and reserved sausage and season to taste. Serve hot.
