KALE SOUP WITH POTATOES AND SAUSAGE



Kale Soup With Potatoes and Sausage image

Though kale probably originated in the dry heat of the Mediterranean, it became a fixture in the kitchens of northern Europe. In Scotland, according to the author Elizabeth Schneider, "to come to cail," was an invitation to come to dinner. Recent devotees extol the virtues of undercooked kale. But having spent five winters in Provincetown, Mass., where the Portuguese eat their kale with sausage or fish, I grew to like mine similar to theirs: slow-simmered in bacon or sausage fat, or braised in chicken broth until it's soft and sweet.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, one pot, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound linguiça or uncured Spanish chorizo, cut across into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 1/2 heads kale, stemmed and coarsely chopped (about 6 cups)
4 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 plum tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice

Steps:

  • Place the sausage in a large pot over medium-low heat and cook until it begins to render its fat, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and potatoes and cook for 2 minutes. Add the kale and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes longer.
  • Stir in the chicken broth, vinegar and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Season with pepper. Stir in the tomatoes and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale. The best type of kale for soup is Lacinato kale, also known as dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale. Its thick, sturdy leaves hold up well during cooking and provide a slightly bitter flavor that complements the other ingredients in the soup. If you can't find Lacinato kale, you can use curly kale, but be sure to remove the tough center ribs before cooking.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly. Kale leaves can be dirty, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before using them in soup. Rinse the leaves under cold water and then use a salad spinner to dry them.
  • Chop the kale finely. Finely chopped kale will cook more evenly and quickly in the soup. You can use a knife or a food processor to chop the kale.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use store-bought broth or make your own using bones, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcook the kale. Kale is a hearty green that can withstand a bit of cooking, but it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked kale will become tough and bitter.
  • Season the soup to taste. Once the soup is finished cooking, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Kale and potato soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The soup is also relatively easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give kale and potato soup a try.
