Receta Portuguese Kale Soup
Some days are soup days, you just want warmth and comfort and a full belly with little effort. Sunday was that day for me. It was in the low 30's when I got up and I woke up knowing I was going to make soup. I had picked up Chorizo at the store on Saturday with this soup in mind. It's so incredibly good that between The Kid and myself, the entire pot of soup was gone by the end of the day.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb chorizo sausage
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 1 large onion, roughly diced
- 4 large potatoes, cubed
- 1 bunch kale, stemmed washed & chopped (abt. 1 lb.)

Cut sausage into bite sized pieces.Heat oil in a heavy soup pot; saute the sausage& onion just until the fat is rendered, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add other ingredients except kale
Bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes.
Add kale and simmer about 8 minutes until tender.
Taste for seasoning- depending on how spicy your sausage is, add salt and pepper to taste.
