HEARTY PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP image

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.
