I made this recipe as a spin-off of Portuguese kale soup. I liked it so much! I like to serve this with freshly squeezed lemon juice or grated Parmesan cheese (but not both).

DH and I have been going to a little place called Cafe Rio for years. About the only thing we ever order there is Portuguese kale soup. I have tried to duplicate the recipe for several years and this is as close as it gets. The linguica sausage is a must.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 bunch kale
1/2 head green cabbage
6 -8 cups chicken stock or 6 -8 cups canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 lb linguica sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 lb red potatoes, diced
2 (15 1/4 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
3 bay leaves
1/8 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

Wash kale under running water.
Strip from tough stem, coarse chop and set aside.
In the food processor, using the medium shredder blade, shred cabbage, drain and rinse beans.
Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot, add sausage, chopped onion and minced garlic.
Cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is transparent.
Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Adjust chicken stock as needed for desired consistency.
Add salt and pepper to taste, remove bay leaf and serve hot with a coarse bread.

Tips:

Choose the right kale. Look for kale with dark, leafy greens and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
Wash the kale thoroughly. Kale can be gritty, so be sure to wash it well before using it.
Chop the kale finely. This will help it cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrition to your soup.
Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
Serve the soup hot. Kale and cabbage soup is best served hot, with a side of bread or crackers.
