Provided by Food Network

Time 16h50m

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 tablespoons schmaltz
1 large yellow onion, diced
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds smoked linguica sausage, sliced into rings
2 1/2 pounds kale, washed, stemmed and cut into chiffonade
2 1/2 pounds kale, washed, stemmed and cut into chiffonade
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1 gallon Rich Chicken Broth, heated, recipe follows
12 ounces dried red kidney beans, soaked overnight
2 extra-large Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut to medium dice
7 to 8 drops hot sauce, such as Tabasco
2 whole organic chickens (3 to 4 pounds each), breasts removed for another use
2 pounds yellow onions, chopped
1 pound celery, chopped
3 sprigs thyme
2 to 3 bay leaves
1 carrot, chopped
1 bulb garlic, halved
1 bunch parsley
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Heat a deep soup pot set over medium heat. Add the schmaltz to render, then add the onions and cover to sweat until soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, then cover and sweat, without browning, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the sausage and sweat, covered, until the mixture turns amber in color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the kale, pushing it down to get it all in the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until the kale cooks down by half, is incorporated into the onion-sausage mix and is covered with schmaltz, about 30 minutes.
  • Add the Rich Chicken Broth, stir well, then cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, cook the beans. Drain the beans and place in a medium pot. Cover with fresh cold water, then cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Drain and add the beans to the soup. Add the potatoes to a medium pot set over medium-high heat and cover with cold water. Cook until almost cooked through (the potatoes will continue to cook after they're drained). Drain the potatoes then lay them out in single layer on a sheet tray and refrigerate to stop the cooking process.
  • When cool add the potatoes to the soup, bring back to a simmer and add the hot sauce. Serve hot.
  • Place the chickens in a large stockpot and add enough water to cover, about 2 gallons. Bring to a boil, skimming the scum as it surfaces.
  • When all the scum is removed and the stock is boiling add the onions, celery, thyme, bay leaves, carrots, garlic, parsley and peppercorns. Bring back to a boil, lower the heat to a slow boil, then cover and simmer until the flavor develops, 4 to 6 hours.
  • Cool the stock and refrigerate overnight allowing the flavors to marry.
  • Remove the fat (schmaltz) from the top of the broth to use in the kale soup. Strain the broth and use as you please! Yield: 1 1/2 gallons

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.

HEARTY PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP



Hearty Portuguese Kale Soup image

This is a very flavorful soup that is a comfort food for my family. The recipe was given to me by my Portuguese mil over 30 yrs ago. Her mother had passed it on to her. This soup is easily stretched to make more servings. The Chorizo gives the broth a good base for adding another can of beans or more pasta or a little water. Soul warming for a cold night, serve with a warm crusty bread. A great next day soup. Freezes well.

PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP



Portuguese Kale Soup image

With a mild flavor resembling that of cabbage, kale is the central ingredient in this traditional Portuguese recipe. The thick, hearty soup calls for chorizo, a garlicky pork sausage that is available in most grocery stores, but you can also substitute linguica, a Portuguese sausage.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large onion, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (about 5 potatoes), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
8 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
8 ounces chorizo sausage, halved lengthwise
3/4 pounds kale, stems removed, very thinly sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat; add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add potatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are very soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove soup from heat, and puree with an immersion blender. Return to heat; add kale, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook chorizo until the fat renders and the sausage turns golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the sausage, and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Thinly slice sausage crosswise. Serve soup with a drizzle of olive oil, and garnish with chorizo slices.
