Savory Portuguese Kale Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) package kielbasa (Polish) sausage, diced
  • 3 potatoes, cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 1 bunch kale, cut into thin ribbons
  • 1 cup small elbow macaroni
  • 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the stock pot over medium heat by heating olive oil.
2
Cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until they release their fragrance, approximately 1 minute.
3
Add the kielbasa to the pot and cook while stirring until it reaches a brown color, roughly 5 minutes.
4
Introduce the potatoes into the kielbasa mixture and season with salt and pepper; continue to cook until the potatoes start to brown, about 2 minutes.
5
Pour in chicken broth and water into the stock pot; add kidney beans, carrots, and kale. Bring the mixture to a boil before reducing heat to medium-low; let it simmer for 45 minutes.
6
Stir macaroni into the soup and continue cooking until it reaches a tender yet firm texture, approximately 15 minutes more.
7
Finish the soup by topping each bowl with a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese to serve.
