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.

This soup was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste and the kale was a bit tough. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more salt and pepper.
