Caldo Verde Portuguese Soup

Serves 4

Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

3 chorizo sausages, sliced

200g bacon, diced

3 large potatoes, chopped

1 onion, chopped

8 cloves garlic, sliced

3L chicken stock

1 bunch kale, roughly chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil

Method

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and bacon and fry for a few minutes until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chorizo to a separate bowl. Set aside for later, leaving chorizo oil in the pan.

With the pan still on medium-high heat, to the chorizo oil, add the onion, potatoes and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add chicken stock and simmer until the potatoes are soft. Blend with a stick blender. Add the chorizo back in, along with the chopped kale. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
