PORTUGUESE STYLE BEAN AND KALE SOUP



Portuguese Style Bean and Kale Soup image

"2 links linguica" is about 13 oz of sausage, give of take. Really the whole recipe is a give or take kind of recipe, to taste. I have sometimes added a chopped carrot for color and taste. Also you can use chicken broth or stock. Really good on a cold night.

Tips:

  • 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 chewy.

  • Add some beans. Beans are a great way to add protein and fiber to this dish. You can use any type of beans you like, but white beans, black beans, and kidney beans are all good choices.
  • Serve with rice. Rice is a traditional accompaniment to this dish. It's a great way to soak up all the delicious sauce.
