Linguica, Kale, and Potato Soup

People talking
This tasty recipe is similar to one I saw on The Food Network. This soup is full of texture, and is not pureed like a traditional Caldo Verde. I often use "no salt added" beans and tomatoes, reduced sodium broth, and rarely need to add extra salt at all, but other folks may want more. We like it with a little sour cream, along with a head of roasted garlic and a hearty loaf of good bread.

Great mixture of flavors! I liked that it was a hearty potato-based soup, but not a creamy soup. This gave the kitchen a wonderful scent. We're mostly vegetarians here, so I didn't use any sausage, just added some kick with smoked paprika and Penzy's Mural of Spices mix and lots of pepper. That worked out just fine. Also used navy beans, as I didn't have garbanzos, and they added a good creaminess. I thought the liquid amount was fine. I had the soup on the stove 20-25 min. at the end. Great New year's soup!

This soup was delicious! I added Swiss chard since I had it in my garden instead of the kale. I thought the quart of chicken stock was sufficient since my husband and I enjoy a thicker soup. We also added a teaspoon of sour cream as suggested to each cup of soup and it really added a nice tang. Great for a football Sunday evening dinner!

I made this soup and it was wonderful!! However, I felt it needed 2 quarts of stock and that worked out well. I also used kielbasa instead of linguica. Very simple, delicious, a keeper.

Our family loved this hearty soup. My husband is Portuguese and has been brought up on soups. I wasn't unless from a can. This was fairly easy, very hearty especially with a few extra additions. A can of white kidney beans, a few carrots and celery. I have never had linguica but had chourico.My mother-in-law even enjoyed it and was asking about how I made it. I feel really good about that. Like it was an authentic Portuguese dish. Thanks a ton. Will definately be making again.
