Portuguese Kale & Potato Soup

Method

1. 1

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until translucent.

2. 2

   Add the diced potatoes and water/broth. Season with sea salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 20 minutes until potatoes are soft.

3. 3

   Mash a few potatoes directly in the pot (or use an immersion blender) to thicken the broth to a lightly creamy consistency.

4. 4

   In a separate skillet, sauté the sliced sausage until browned and oil releases. Set aside.

5. 5

   Add the thinly sliced kale to the simmering soup and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until tender.

6. 6

   Stir in the remaining olive oil. Serve in warm bowls topped with sliced sausage.
