Portuguese Kale Soup

In this recipe it's just my preference on items, by all means you can use your favorites or preferred flavors!

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 20-30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet onion

• 4-5 cloves of garlic (minced)

• 1lb Ground chourico or sliced

• 4-5 Yukon gold potatos (chopped)

• 1tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 bay leaves

• 3 cups of collard greens

• 64 oz organic chicken broth

• 15 oz red kidney beans

Drizzle the olive oil in the pot and bring it to medium high heat, then add the onion, garlic, chourico, and potatoes. Cook this mixture for 5 minutes with the lid on and continuously stir.

Once that's done add two bay leaves, a pinch of salt and black pepper ( remember there's salt in your chourico!) Add your desired amount of collard greens (Portuguese kale) I cut them into 3/4s of an inch strips and then put them in the pot, letting them wilt for about 2 minutes with the lid on.

Add in the chicken broth and red kidney beans, then bring that to a boil with the lid on, for 15 minutes and stir continuously.

Finally salt and pepper the soup to taste again.
