Recipe
1
Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and sauté the sliced Goan chorizo until the oil releases and the sausages are browned.
2
Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the flavorful oils in the pot.
3
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
4
Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot, bringing the mixture to a boil.
5
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and easily mashable.
6
Use a potato masher or immersion blender to roughly mash some of the potatoes directly in the broth to thicken the soup naturally.
7
Stir in the shredded kale or collard greens and cook uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes until the greens are tender and vibrant green.
8
Return the cooked chorizo to the pot, season with salt, black pepper, and cider vinegar, and stir well to combine.
9
Simmer for an additional 2 minutes, then ladle hot into bowls and serve with crusty bread.
