I have used Rachel Ray's Portuguese Chourico & Kale Soup recipie and have adapted it in a simular way. Although I use Linguicia & add carrotts. It's a great receipe and I make it all the time.

I thought this soup was delicious! It took me a little longer to prep and cook, but I'm probably not as fast as Rachael Ray! I used some kale and some beet greens, and didn't have true chorizo, so instead used a spicy Italian sausage that I had available. This was a filling and satisfying lunch! Thanks so much, BarbryT! Made for PAC Spring 2008.

Great soup! I would have liked more potatoes in it (maybe double or triple). I thought I had cannelini beans, but only had garbanzos, so I used those, though I think this would be even better with the cannelinis. It took an hour to make, but I was prepared for that, since I had read reviews on Food Network's site (and it makes sense that prep takes longer than 10 minutes — really about 25 minutes, and that potatoes take longer to cook than stated). I used chicken chorizo. I have never bought chorizo before, so mistakenly ended up with the raw Mexican kind, that you squeeze out of its casing and cook first. Nonetheless, it imparted a wonderful smoky flavor, which permeated the entire dish. It is good that I only used half a pound of it though, since that made it plenty spicy. When I make this again, I will skip the beginning steps where the potatoes are in the pot without liquid, it stuck really bad and burned onto the pot, despite stirring frequently. The recipe makes a lot, enough for 6 big eaters. With the chicken chorizo I used (and the fact that this feeds 6), fat is only 9 grams per serving. I definitely recommend this yummy soup!
