Tips:

For a more intense chourico flavor, use Portuguese chourico, which is typically smokier and spicier than other types of chourico.
If you can't find Portuguese kale, you can use regular kale, but be sure to remove the tough stems before cooking.
To make the soup ahead of time, cook the chourico, kale, and potatoes according to the recipe. Then let the soup cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through.
Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

This Portuguese chourico and kale soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The chourico and kale add a delicious smoky and earthy flavor to the soup, while the potatoes and white beans add a creamy and filling texture. This soup is sure to become a family favorite.
