Kale Soup

Description

I merged the best of two family recipes, then fiddled a bit. Pretty easy. Very Spicy if you use hot Portuguese sausage. Both the sausage(chourico or linguica) and jarred peppers (Pimenta Moida) are available online if you don’t have a Portuguese market in your town. I prefer linguica for flavoring soups because is has just a little more fat. If you are trying to limit the fat, stick with chourico.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound Portuguese chourico, broken into large chunks

  • salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Pimenta Moida (Portuguese hot chopped peppers)
  • 1 bunch kale – washed, dried, and shredded
  • ½ head savoy cabbage, shredded

Servings: 12
