Portuguese Kale Soup

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound dried white pea beans
• 1/2 pound chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
• 1 pound beef soup bones
• 1 quart water
• 1 medium head cabbage, chopped
• 2 bunches kale – rinsed, dried and chopped
• 5 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 quart hot water or as needed
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Soak beans in twice their volume of water 8 hours or overnight.

In a large pot, place drained beans, chorizo, soup bones and 1 quart water (or more as needed to cover). Cook over medium heat until beans are just beginning to be tender, 1 hour.

Stir in cabbage, kale, potatoes and enough hot water to cover. Cook until potatoes are tender, 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
