PORTUGUESE STYLE BEAN AND KALE SOUP
"2 links linguica" is about 13 oz of sausage, give of take. Really the whole recipe is a give or take kind of recipe, to taste. I have sometimes added a chopped carrot for color and taste. Also you can use chicken broth or stock. Really good on a cold night.

PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP
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.
