Savory Portuguese Sausage & Kale Soup Recipe - A Flavorful Twist!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds of savory Portuguese linguica sausage, sliced into thick 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons of fragrant olive oil
• 2 medium onions, finely chopped
• 6 cloves of garlic, roughly diced
• 8 cups of rich chicken broth
• 4 medium white potatoes, cubed into bite-sized 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 teaspoons of freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 pound of fresh kale, with stems removed and sliced into ribbons
• 1 cup of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• Season with salt to your liking

Step 1

Start by sizzling up some savory sausage slices in a spacious nonstick pan on medium-high heat until they turn a delicious golden brown, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Once they're done, set the sausages aside on a plate, keeping any leftover juices in the pan.

Step 2

Next, pour a drizzle of olive oil into the same pan and let it warm up over medium heat. Toss in the onions and give them a good stir. Allow the onions to cook and caramelize until they develop a lovely golden hue, which usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Then, add in the garlic and cook it until its wonderful aroma fills the kitchen, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Bring back the sausages into the pan and pour in some chicken broth, along with the potatoes and pepper. Let everything come to a bubbling boil. To amp up the dish, toss in the kale and cannellini beans, then lower the heat slightly. Allow the flavors to mingle as you simmer the dish until the sausages are perfectly cooked through and the potatoes turn tender, which should take approximately 30 minutes. Don't forget to season with a sprinkle of salt before serving.
