Portuguese Chorizo and Kale Soup

 

This hands down is my favorite soup. I saw it made years ago on the Food network by Rachel Ray.

I tried it the next day and absolutely fell in love with kale and this soup.

When I make this soup I don’t cut corners and I don’t make a smaller batch.

If I am going to make this soup I want some for the next day lunch and a few cups to put away for another time.

Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

3 medium white potatoes

2 medium onions, chopped

4 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped (about three teaspoons of chopped garlic from the jar)

2 bay leaves, fresh or dried

1 pound kale, coarsely chopped

Coarse salt and pepper

1 (15-ounce) can garbanzos (chick peas), drained and rinsed

1 can diced tomatoes

1 pound diced chorizo, casing removed (you can buy already cooked chorizo in the area where hot dogs are)

1 quart chicken broth

Warm, crusty bread

Directions

I make this in the crock pot and let it simmer on low for five hours.

You will not regret taking the time to make this soup because it is so good and step above and different from other soups.

Serve this with crusty bread or rolls.
