This is a typical Portuguese soup, here spiced up by the piri-piris. The sausage often contains piri-piri powder and is the same as the chorizo of Spain and Mexico. Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil 1 large spanish onion, diced |
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
10 ounces 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 pound kale or spinach, cut into small julienne |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the onions and cook until they are translucent.
3. Add the garlic, half the chourizo, and the chiles and cook for 2 minutes.
4. 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.
5. When the soup is cool enough to handle, puree it in a food processor and return to the pot.
6. Add the greens, and bring everything back to a boil.
7. 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.
