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.

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.

Here are some additional tips for making Vegetarian Portuguese Kale Soup:

  • Use fresh kale if possible. Kale that has been sitting around for a while will be tough and not as flavorful.
  • If you don't have any red cabbage, you can use green cabbage instead. The red cabbage will give the Portuguese kale a slightly pink hue, but the green cabbage will still be delicious.
  • If you're short on time, you can use canned or boxed broth instead of homemade. Just be sure to use a low-sodium broth so that the added salt doesn't overpower the other ingredients.
  • Serve the Portuguese kale with a side of crusty bread or crackers. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian Portuguese kale Soup is a traditional Portuguese dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. One serving only has 210 calories! It's a hearty and flavorful but simple to make, and it can be made with all pantry staples. Plus it's a great way to sneak more veggies into your diet.
