Ingredients:

Serving

4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds (about 2 lb.)
1 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
8 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil ( preferably portuguese or spanish)
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
6 oz portuguese linguica sausage (or chorizo)
1/2 lb kale, washed, stemmed, and very finely shredded

Directions:

In a large pot, combine the potatoes, salt, and water; bring to a boil; adjust the heat, and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are mashable, about 15 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a bowl; leave the cooking water in the pot.
With a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes coarsely or into a puree, as your taste dictates, then return them to the pot (alternatively, if you have an immersion blender, puree the potatoes in the pot, or simply break up the potatoes with a wooden spoon).
Stir in the olive oil and pepper.
Bring the soup back to a simmer over medium heat.
Prick the sausages in a few places, add them to the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes.
With tongs, remove the sausages and slice them about 1/4 inch thick; reserve.
Add in the kale or cabbage to simmering soup; boil, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the sliced sausage; serve piping hot in flat bowls.
