I can't get enough of this soup I made the other night. I doctored it up a bit, but basically, the recipe came out of a Nov. 1999 issue of Organic Gardening magazine.

Full recipe follows (I cut it in half and got 3 meals out of it.):

1/2 pound linguica or chorizo sausage (or any garlicky
smoked sausage), sliced (I like chorizo)
4 medium-size potatoes, peeled(?) and diced
6 cups chicken stock or broth
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves (says minced, but I just cut them up)
4-5 cups choped kale (I grow my own potatoes and kale)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Boil potatoes and mash for an uneven and lumpy texture.

Combine chicken stock, onion, and garlic and boil.

Add potatoes, sausage, and kale to the stock for a couple of minutes (high heat), then reduce heat. Simmer for 15 min. minimum. Add salt and pepper (I tossed in fresh garden chives). With chorizo, you really don't need salt. Too much sodium as is. 390 calories per serving.

Enjoy!
