Recipe Introduction


The traditional Portuguese kale and potato soup inspired this delicious country-style dish. It's especially welcome in the winter months when kale is at its peak.





List of Ingredients



• 1 T cooking oil
  
• 1 lb turkey or chicken sausage
  
• 1 onion, chopped
  
• 4 cloves garlic, cut into thin slices
  
• 1 quart water
  
• 2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
  
• 1 1/2 tsps salt
  
• 1 1/2 lbs boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4" slices
  
• 1 pinch dried red pepper flakes
  
• 1 lb kale, stems removed, leaves shredded
  
• 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  






Instructions



1. In a large pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the sausage and cook, turning, until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and, when it is cool enough to handle, cut it into slices. Pour off all but 1 T fat from the pan.
   
2. Add the onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute longer.
   
3. Add the water, broth, and salt and bring the soup to a boil. Add the sausage, potatoes, and red pepper flakes and bring back to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, for 2 minutes. Add the kale and bring the soup back to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, until the potatoes and kale are tender, about 6 minutes longer. Add the black pepper.
