Caldo Verde (aka New England/Portuguese Kale Soup)





This is all pretty much to taste, so I'm just going to give it in a block.





Heat up some olive oil in a pan and dice up an onion. Cook the onion with some salt over medium heat until it's soft and translucent, then add some garlic and a few handfuls of diced linguica sausage. Heat that all through, then add some cooked pinto beans, a few big handfuls of chopped kale or collard greens, and then add enough chicken broth to make it soup. Cook until the kale is wilted and serve with bread and beer.
