Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound boneless, skinless salt cod
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound linguica sausage (or chorizo), cut into 1/2-inch disks
1 small onion, chopped
2 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 quarts chicken broth
8 ounces kale, stemmed, rinsed and coarsely chopped to make 6 cups
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon chili-pepper flakes
1/2 cup fresh mint, minced

Steps:

  • Soak the salt cod overnight in cold water. Drain and tear the cod into bite-size pieces, removing any remaining bones. Cover the cod with fresh water and bring nearly to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Warm the olive oil in a large soup pot over high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes to lightly brown. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and cook, stirring frequently until the onions are nearly soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and toss. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the kale, bay leaves and chili- pepper flakes. Return to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Skim the fat off the top of the soup. Add the cod, adjust the seasoning, ladle into bowls and sprinkle each with fresh mint.

This chowder was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The salt cod was a bit too salty and the kale was a bit too tough. I think I might have cooked it for too long. Overall, I was not impressed with this chowder.

I found this chowder to be a bit bland. The salt cod didn't add much flavor and the kale was a bit too tough. I think I might have cooked it for too long. Overall, I was not impressed with this chowder.

This chowder was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I might have added too much salt cod. However, the flavor was still good and the kale was cooked perfectly. I would make it again, but I would use less salt cod next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this chowder. I'm not a big fan of salt cod, but it was cooked perfectly in this dish and the flavor was not overpowering. The kale was also a nice addition, adding a bit of texture and flavor. Overall

This chowder is simply divine! The salt cod and kale are a perfect pairing, and the broth is so rich and flavorful. I served it with some crusty bread and it was the perfect meal.
