Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup olive oil 1 large spanish onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
10 oz chorizo sausage , diced
6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
3 dried piri-piri chiles, crushed (or substitute piquin or thai)
8 cups of cold water
1 lb kale or spinach , cut into small julienne
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook until they are translucent.
Add the garlic, half the chourizo, and the chiles and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the potatoes, cover everything with water, bring to a boil and lower the heat, simmering until the potatoes are almost done, about 15 minutes.
When the soup is cool enough to handle, puree it in a food processor and return to the pot.
Add the greens, and bring everything back to a boil.
Lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, ladle into bowls and garnish on top with the remaining cubes of chourizo.
