This is based on a Portuguese soup my mother in law makes. I make this soup thicker and I puree it unlike the traditional way. My very picky kids love it with crusty fresh bread for dipping and simply call it green soup .
Ingredients:
5 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 large onion, quartered
3 cups chicken broth
1 collard greens, stems removed
1/2 chorizo sausage (cured spanish sausage)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions:
1. Fill large pot with water. Add potatoes, onion, sausage, and chicken broth.
2. Cook until potatoes soft.
3. Remove sausage.
4. Puree.
5. Add collards and cook for about 15 minutes.
6. Puree.
7. Chop sausage into small slices.
8. Add oil and sausage to pot.
9. Enjoy.
