Portuguese Kale Soup image

DH and I have been going to a little place called Cafe Rio for years. About the only thing we ever order there is Portuguese kale soup. I have tried to duplicate the recipe for several years and this is as close as it gets. The linguica sausage is a must.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover kale. I usually add a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes, and I sometimes add some cooked sausage or bacon.

This soup was easy to make and so flavorful! I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and it turned out great. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes for some extra heat. My whole family loved it.

I'm not a huge fan of kale, but this soup was surprisingly good. The flavors were really well-balanced, and the kale was cooked until it was tender but still had a bit of a bite to it. I would definitely recommend this soup to anyone, even if you're
