There are a lot of versions of this recipe on the net for this Portuguese soup – here’s our version.
Saute sweet Italian sausage (I removed the casings) with chopped onion in a bit of olive oil. Cover with chicken broth and add sliced (raw) potatoes. I leave the potatoes unpeeled for added nutrition. Cover with chicken broth and cook until the potatoes are done. I break the potatoes into chunks with a wooden spoon after they have cooked through.
Wash fresh kale and trim the stalks off. Rough chop the kale and dump it into the simmering soup. I let the kale cook for 4-5 minutes but you may prefer that it cook longer.
I judge how much of each ingredient to use by paying attention and using some judgement. Tonight we only had two links of sausage so we used two potatoes, one onion and several handfuls of fresh kale. I used about 4 cups of chicken broth. It made 6 servings.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
Hi there. I saw your comment on my blog. I did design my blog header. If you have Photoshop, it is pretty easy to do. I put together a tutorial on 2 peas. I don’t know if you are a pea, or if you found my blog through other channels. hehe
here is a link to the tutorial. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
