Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil , plus extra for drizzling over individual bowls
1 large onion , chopped medium
4 medium cloves garlic , minced
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 lb red potatoes (about 4 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
salt
8 oz chorizo sausage
1 sprig fresh oregano or savory
6 oz kale , stems removed and leaves cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips (about 4 1/2 packed cups)
ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add 3 cups stock, the potatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and mash the potatoes in the liquid with a potato masher until no large chunks remain and the potatoes thicken the soup slightly.
3. Return the pot to medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 cups stock, sausage, and savory and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer to blend the flavors, about 15 minutes.
4. Remove and discard the savory. Stir in the kale and simmer until just tender, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, drizzling each portion with olive oil, if desired.
