Portuguese Kale and Chorizo Soup image

I was jonesing for a good soup, and my daughter (who is a classically trained chef btw) concocted this recipe. Don't be intimidated by the length of ingredients - most of these items are probably lying around your kitchen already! A great hearty soup.

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
8 oz dry-aged spanish chorizo, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 c white wine
3 Tbsp flour
