Kale and Chourico Soup
Kale and chourico soup is a variation of Portugal's national soup, caldo verde. With a smell just as delicious as the taste, this classic Portuguese recipe makes 6 servings.
Ingredients:
- 1 cups fresh small head cabbage, chopped
- 5 cups Market Basket chicken stock
- 1 lb. Chourico
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chopped fresh kale
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1.5 lbs. baby white skin potatoes, diced
- 1 can Market Basket kidney beans
- 1 can Market Basket red beans
- Salt and black pepper
Directions:
1. Thinly slice or dice the chourico.
2. Wash all of your vegetables and drain the beans. Chop, mince, or dice the ingredients as outlined by the ingredients list.
3. In a large pot, bring 1 tbsp. or olive oil to medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Salt to taste.
4. Cook the onion and garlic until softened, about 4 minutes.
5. Add the diced potatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 15 minutes, making sure the potatoes are cooked through.
6. For a thicker broth, remove half of the potatoes and mash them lightly with a fork until smooth. Add them back to the pot.
7. Add the chourico, kidney beans, red beans, kale, and cabbage to the pot.
8. Return to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
9. Serve and enjoy!
