Portuguese Chorizo and Kale Soup
Soups & Stews
This is an adaptation of a recipe Jay found on
www.foodtv.com. The flavor was really nice -
he used chicken stock from our freezer that was very rich in flavor and had
chunks of chicken in it.

Heat oil in a deep pot over medium high heat. Add
potatoes and onions, cover and cook five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add garlic, bay leaves and kale to the pot. Cover
pot and wilt greens 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add beans, tomatoes,
