SERVINGS
8

INGREDIENTS
6 ounces chorizo, cut in half lengthwise and sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
8 cups turkey or chicken stock
8 potatoes, peeled and sliced
6 cloves garlic, peeled, root ends trimmed
1 bunch kale, trimmed, washed and thinly sliced
salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

PREPARATION
1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain the chorizo on paper towels and set aside.

2. In a heavy stockpot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add turkey or chicken stock, potatoes and garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

3. With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes and garlic to a bowl; lightly mash with a fork. Return to the soup and bring to a simmer. Stir in kale, a handful at a time. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the kale is tender. Stir in the reserved chorizo and season with salt and pepper.

SERVING SUGGESTION
Enjoy with Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread.
