Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 onion, minced

1 clove garlic, minced

6 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

2 quarts cold water

6 ounces linguica sausage, thinly sliced ( any spicy sausage )

1 cup thick diced ham

2 1/2 teaspoons salt

ground black pepper to taste

1 pound kale, rinsed and julienned ( collards are acceptable

Directions

In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook onion and garlic in 3 tablespoons olive oil for 3 minutes. Stir in potatoes and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes more.

Pour in water, bring to a boil, and let boil gently for 20 minutes, until potatoes are mushy.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook sausage until it has released most of its fat, 10 minutes. Drain.

Mash potatoes or puree the potato mixture with a blender or food processor.

Stir the sausage, salt and pepper into the soup and return to medium heat. Cover and simmer 5 minutes.

Just before serving, stir kale into soup and simmer, 5 minutes, until kale is tender and jade green. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and serve
