Portuguese Soup image

My boy friend is portuguese, and had a yen for this soup, after many test runs, I think I've got it. I've seen lots of variations, but this is close to what he remembers from his youth, lots of kale, linguica and a hearty broth. He likes this with crusty sourdough bread, but being from the south, I like it with good ole cast iron skillet cornbread.
