Ingredients

3 or 3 1/2 pints of water (depending on the consistency you like your soup)

2 garlic cloves

2 yellow onions (about 1/2 pound)

1 1/2 pounds potatoes

3 fl oz olive oil

1 pound finely cut kale cabbage

salt to taste

1 portuguese "chouriço" - chorizo - or any kind you like as long as it's good uncooked

Directions

On a big pot put the potatoes, the onions, garlic, half the quantity of olive oil and bring to boil.

Add the whole "chouriço" (with the skin on, remove it later).

Let it boil slowly until the potatoes and onions are well cooked.

Take the "chouriço" to a plate and reserve.

Use a hand blender to puree the soup and season with salt if needed - sometimes the "chouriço" provides enough salt to season the soup.

Heat it again and when it starts to boil add the kale. Let it cook for 10 minutes or more, depending on your taste.

Serve in bowls with a couple of slices of "chouriço" and a thin bit of olive oil.

Another delicious sounding one...similar to ones I've had, but not exact...I love that there's a chorizo type sausage(probably what I'll have to use, cus it's what I'll be able to find), yet it's similar to a wonderful Italian-style soup I make. It's still too hot here, but soup season is just around the corner...this one is getting saved! :)
