Warming Chorizo & Kale Soup

Ana de Costa joins us in the studio to make a glorious caldo verde, a lovely Portuguese soup. Loaded up with tatties, kale and chorizo, this is banging.

📝 Ingredients

• 225 g Chorizo
• 2 Onion
• 2 Clove Garlic
• 4 Large White Potato
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 350 g Kale
• 1500 ml Chicken Stock
• 200 g Sourdough (to serve)
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Chop two thirds of your chorizo into cubes and thinly slice the remaining third. Roughly chop your onions and garlic.
2. 2Heat a glug of oil in a big pot. Add the cubed chorizo, onions and garlic. Keep stirring until the onions go translucent.
3. 3Peel your potatoes and chop them into 2cm cubes.
4. 4Add the potatoes and bay leaf to the pan. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the pot, and let it cook for a few mins.
5. 5Add the stock and let it simmer on low heat for 15 mins until the potatoes are fully cooked.
6. 6In the meantime, fry the slices of chorizo until they are crispy. Save them for garnish along with the chorizo oil.
7. 7Add a couple handfuls of the kale to the pot and blend everything together. If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can add a cup of water.
8. 8Add the rest of the kale, along with half of the sliced chorizos. Add salt and pepper to taste.
9. 9Serve in your favourite soup bowl and garnish with the crispy chorizo, drizzle of chorizo oil and extra virgin olive oil, alongside some toasted bread slices.
