    Found this one on line...Add garlic, I like lots:-)..the pasta and beans are optional..

    enjoy!


    Ingredients
    # 1 tablespoon olive oil
    # 1 lb chorizo sausage(fresh not dried)
    # 1 quart chicken broth
    # 1 large onion, roughly diced
    # 4 large potatoes, cubed
    # 1 bunch kale, stemmed washed & chopped(abt. 1 lb.)
    # 1 1/2 cups ditalini
    # 1(15ounce)can dark red kidney beans
    # fresh ground black pepper
    # salt (optional)
    Directions

    1.

    Remove casing from sausage and cut into smaller than bit sized pieces.
    2.

    Heat oil in a heavy soup pot; saute the sausage& onion just until the fat is rendered, about 3 to 5 minutes.
    3.

    Drain on paper towels.
    4.

    Add other ingredients except kale,& pasta.
    5.

    Bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes.
    6.

    Add kale, and pasta and simmer about 8 minutes until both are tender.
    7.

    Taste for seasoning- depending on how spicy your sausage is, add salt and pepper to taste.
    8.

    Serve piping hot.

      I sorta made this the other day. I used smoked sausage so that it wouldnt be spicy (for my kids) and it was still really good. No beans of ditalini in mine and i used itty bitty yukon potatos. I think they would have been better with dif. potatos that get softer. I loved the soup though and its really easy to make. For me, the recipe said 15 minutes for the kale to become tender but I found that it really took about a half an hour, maybe more.

    Anyone have a recipe for portuguese garlic soup? Basically hot garlicky chicken broth, poured over a crouton topped with a fried egg. I've managed to come up with a reasonable facsimile, but I'd love to try out an authentic recipe.
