Love it juels!


What a great soup!


If it ever cools down here in Texas, I will try this soup! And when my garden gets a little more mature, I will be cooking those collards with bbq sauce! Your recipes look great! Welcome to GR!

You have some nice recipes Juels.... ;-)~~ This one is a winner... Jim


I am all about comfort foods and this sounds like a bowl of delicious comfort to me. Thanks, Juels - great post! :)


Comfort food is what I like during col November day's. I will use some Kale and potatoes from my garden to make this wonderful Chorizo Kale Soup

Awww, Juels, how did you know? It's just my size!


Awww, Juels, how did you know? It's just my size! btw, I think I did something or other to make that "38 years" comment show up. See, way before your parents had even met...


I really love the addition of butter beans (and HEAVY CREAM!). It would be interesting to try this with Soyrizo (the soups I make at the cafe are vegetarian).


I'll be making this... oh yeah!


I made this up this morning. It was an "I Love Lucy" moment. I thought I would use my crockpot but when I added the kale I knew that just wasn't going to work out. Had to transfer it to a jumbo sized soup pot. Too funny.

I made some substitutions for what I had on hand. Didn't have any heavy cream so I used evaporated milk and cornstarch for a substitute. Seems to have been okay. I also didn't think it was enough liquid so I used 8 cups of water and 4 cups of wine. It smells wonderful and I'm looking forward to it for lunch today.

I put my altered recipe with its nutrition counts under the alteration section.


Thanks, Otterpond, for trying the soup, and for your wonderful alterations and even nutrition counts on this recipe! The smoked jalapeno worst sure sounds good! I also love cannelini beans, they are one of my favourites, and the sweet potatoes is a very interesting substitution!


Correction on the nutrition info -- can't edit my alteration :( When I measured out the soup I found that my way made 1 gallon of soup or 16 cups. Which is fabulous news because it means I can have a 2nd cup on my diet :)

This sounds so good! I love the nutrition info Otter! Hmmmm...I wonder if this is as good as the soup I had last night! LOL! Thats an inside joke! Saving this one!


Jules, this sounds yummy! I will have to try this one. Otter, using cannelini beans is a good alternative as well, I love them and I always have them in my pantry.


I made this soup but doubled the recipe due to size of my family. We loved i! I used canned milk instead of the cream because that was all I had on hand and didn't want to drive all the way into town for one thing. :-))
Thanks for the post!


This sounds great juels, I wonder if you've ever come across a recipe for cream of garlic soup, bein that you're a soup afficionado. I had some once whilst I was in Germany, and have never been able to find a recipe that comes close


This was put in Daily Dinner so I had to come see...I'm thinking I am gonna love it. I can't find the hard chorizo around here...it's all soft...but I can find smoked sausage! That and I freaking love butter beans, gotta be my fav. And I am going to the grocery store tomorrow and all I need is the kale....omg, I'm excited. Can you tell? lol


This soup recipe sounds so good my mouth is watering. It contains everything I love, and its good for you at the same time. I just had some Kale last night I cooked in Beef broth & water with smoked neckbone, and seasonings. Plus I put vinegar on it in my serving bowl. I just love Chorizo Sausage...Thanks for such a great recipe!!!


Just found this and I'll be cooking it tomorrow night as the kale and potatoes in the garden are fabulous at the moment ,I have chorizo and fresh cream in the fridge and dried beans in the pantry.It should all be delicious -thanks !!
