Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 cups chicken stock
4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp vegetable oil
6 oz linguica sausage
4 cups shredded fresh kale , chard or 4 cups collard greens, washed and dried
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Over medium heat in a large soup pot, heat olive oil. Add onion and garlic cloves and cooked for about 5-10 minutes, or until tender, but not browned.
Stir in the stock, potatoes, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the potatoes are soft. This should take about 20 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and lightly mash the potatoes with a potato masher.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil.
Add the meat, stirring occasionally, and cook until browned.
Add the meat to the pot. Pour 1 cup of the soup into the skillet to remove the browned bits and return to the soup pot.
Simmer 5 minutes, then stir in the greens.
Simmer 5 more minutes and stir in lemon juice.
Serve while hot.
