Categories     Main Course     Soup

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon plus 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, (chopped)
2 garlic cloves, (minced)
4 cups water
1 (15-ounce) can seasoned diced or stewed tomatoes ((see note))
1 pound potatoes, (peeled and cut in ½-inch cubes)
1 bunch Lacinato kale, (stems removed and discarded, coarsely chopped)
6 ounces sausage-style meat alternative, (cut in ½-inch pieces (optional))
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, (sweet or spicy, your choice)
1 ¾ cups cooked white beans, (one (15-ounce can))
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
¾ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Sauté the onions and garlic in the pressure cooker until the onions are translucent, about 10 mintues. Add the water, tomatoes, potatoes, and kale, lock the lid in place and cook on high pressure 5 minutes. Quick release the pressure.
  • Alternatively, heat the first tablespoon of oil in a soup pot. Over medium flame, sauté the onions until translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook a few more minutes. Add the water, tomatoes, potatoes, and kale. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.
  • While the soup cooks, heat the remaining oil in a wide (preferably non-stick skillet.) Using a wooden spoon to smash the pieces, cook the veggie sausage with smoked paprika until nicely browned.
  • When the potatoes are done, add the beans, faux sausage, vinegar and salt. Generously grind in black pepper, like 30 grinds. Taste, and add more salt, if needed. Cook a few more minutes, until the beans are heated through.

VEGAN PORTUGUESE KALE, BEAN AND SAUSAGE SOUP



Vegan Portuguese Kale, Bean and Sausage Soup image

A hearty soup inspired by classic "Fisherman's Wives" soups. Filled with satisfying and nutritious ingredients.

Provided by Georgia @ Full of Beans

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Tbs olive oil
3-4 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 large onion, diced
1 package of Field Roast Italian sausage, peeled from wrapper and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
4-5 medium to large potatoes, scrubbed and diced
vegetable broth, enough to cover potatoes by about 1 inch (approx 5-6 cups)
1 bay leaf
1 can or 1 1/2 cups cooked cannellini (Italian white) beans, rinsed and drained
1 bunch kale, remove from stems and chop
1 tsp salt, more to taste
grinds of black pepper
vegan parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Warm a large dutch oven or soup pot on the stove.
  • Add oil and spread around pot.
  • Add onion and cook, gently stirring for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and sausage. Continue to stir gently, until the sausage starts to crisp a little. If stuff starts to stick, splash a little water into the pan and gently scrape the bottom.
  • Remove the onion, garlic and sausage from the pan and set aside. Without cleaning the pan (this is important for flavor), add the potatoes, bay leaf, salt, pepper and vegetable broth to cover potatoes by about 1 inch and cook on medium heat until potatoes are just tender when pricked with a fork. Once the broth is boiling, it should take about 15 minutes, give or take depending on type and size of dice.
  • Add the drained beans, kale and sausage mixture, stirring gently to evenly combine.
  • Cook until kale is softened.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese if desired. (we love Follow Your Heart brand)

Portuguese Kale Soup image

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

PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP (WITH VEGGIE VERSION)



Portuguese Kale Soup (With Veggie Version) image

My grandmother (from Fall River Massachusettes) taught me to make this soup just before I went to college. I tweaked it a little, but not much. This is portuguese soul food. It cures all ills, especially the rainy cabin fever I get here in Seattle each winter. Note: 12.02.07 I stopped eating meat, but still love to make this soup. Vegetarians... use "Soyrizo" instead of Chourice.

Provided by Kendra PeloJoaquin

Categories     Apple

Time 2h20m

Yield 1 huge pot of soup

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 large potatoes, peeled then chopped coarsely
2 large white onions or 2 large yellow onions, one chopped coarsely the other finely
400 ml dry sherry (this is half a bottle but the Zaar wanted clear measurements) or 400 ml white wine (this is half a bottle but the Zaar wanted clear measurements)
10 cups fresh kale, leaves and stems chopped finely
1 apple, washed chopped in half, and de-seeded
1/2-3/4 cup minced fresh garlic clove
3/4 lb Portuguese chourico (or chorizo, the mexican version, if you like) or 3/4 lb soy chorizo
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (12 ounce) can great northern beans (white, kidneys or pintos would do fine too)
1 lemon
2 -3 bay leaves
kosher salt
black pepper
hot sauce (I prefer Tabasco)
turmeric
thyme

Steps:

  • Dump the potatoes in a big old stock pot with the garlic, the wine and about a gallon of water or stock, about a tbs of salt, a few dashes of hot sauce, the two apple halves and the bay leaves.
  • Heat on medium with a lid.
  • While the potatoes soften, simmer the chourico in a smallish sauce pan.
  • Add a little olive oil if it's really lean sausage.
  • Cover it and simmer on low (you want to save all the savory, spicey yumminess to stay right there in the pan!) When the potatoes are good and soft, mash them.
  • (I take the apples out-- they should be floating -- for a sweeter soup, leave them in, but take the peels off.) I mash them right there in the stock pot, but some people like to strain them out, smash'em and then put them back inches.
  • Whatever you do,*don't* dump out all of the wonderful broth the potatoes have created for you.
  • Don't smash them entirely if you like a nice chunky soup.
  • When the chourico is all cooked (I tell by the consistency.) put the onions in the pan and put the lid back on.
  • Turn off the heat, and let the onions start to wilt in the pan.
  • Let the potato broth simmer without a lid for about 1/2 hour.
  • Taste it.
  • Adjust salt/pepper.
  • Take out the Bay Leaves Add the Kale, the Chourico/Onion mixture, the thyme, turmeric (about 1 tsp each), the tomatoes and the beans.
  • Let it simmer with the lid off for about 1/2 hour.
  • Taste it, adjust it.
  • Add the juice of about the 1/4 of the lemon.
  • Continue to simmer and taste for about 1 hour or so adjusting lemon, spices, salt, and hot sauce.
  • Serve with some crusty bread, and parmesean cheese to put on top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh kale: Fresh kale is more flavorful and nutritious than kale that has been sitting in the fridge for a while. If you can't find fresh kale, you can use frozen kale, but be sure to thaw it and drain it well before using.
  • 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 is tough and bitter. Cook the kale just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, or green beans.
  • Season the soup to taste: This recipe is a good starting point, but you may want to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder until the soup tastes perfect.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a side salad: This soup is delicious served with crusty bread or a side salad. It's also a great soup to make ahead of time and reheat for lunch or dinner.

Conclusion:

This vegan Portuguese kale soup is a healthy and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a hearty and nutritious soup, give this recipe a try.
