Food Fun and Facts Portuguese Recipe for Hearty Kale & Linguica Soup

Portuguese Kale Soup Recipe

Ingredients:
7 large white potatoes- peeled and diced
2 cans red kidney beans
1-1/2 to 2 lbs linquica ( cut in small pieces)
1/2 pound chouricia (cut in small pieces)
2 onions-chopped
2 bunches of kale (fresh is best)
1 can diced tomatoes
Salt to Taste
Pepper to Taste
Chopped Garlic (optional)

Sauté onions, garlic, linquica and chouricia together in a large pot.  Add enough water to fill the pot 1/2 full.  Put in potatoes and kale. Cook till potatoes are soft. Add Tomatoes and seasonings.  Add kidney beans and more water till pot is nearly full.. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes more.  Taste, and add more salt if needed .  Serve the Kale Soup with Portuguese bread and butter..A meal in itself. This is my favorite soup.  Hard to find in a restaurant, unless you are dining in a Portuguese establishment! Eat this soup and you will stay healthy in the winter!  

Kale Soup is best made in a stainless steel pot. Use a wooden spoon to stir.  Somehow, it makes a difference!   Do not use aluminum cook ware.  Kale is best fresh, but you can use frozen.  Kale melts down like spinach, so don't be afraid to use more than called for.    You can prepare this a day ahead.    This soup is best when reheated.  This is a great Portuguese Kale Soup! The above makes enough Portuguese kale soup to serve 8.
