I used Soyrizo instead of real chorizo and it is a great soup. I can tell that the real thing would be even better. I like this recipe-chopping the kale finely in the food processor is a great idea! Kale can be so tough and can take forever to cook. This is a great way to get kale into your diet. Very spicy soup and I like that.

Very nice soup, with great flavors and consistency. Found the amount of crushed red pepper to be a bit much.

Oh wow, I made this soup for my family and we loved it. I did add a cup of wine and more garlic as we do. This one is fabulous. Annie Perreira

Let me just tell you, it turned out just like I remember it as a kid, well even as an adult.......it's tradionally a Portuguese wedding soup. I had it at my wedding, and I have to say this recipe tasted better. Wish I had the energy to make it for my guests, but that's what we paid the caterer for. :)

excellent, hearty soup. be sure to use the spicy chorizo, it makes the soup appropriately spicy and gives it a nicer color.

this was a great, easy soup to make. I used linquica and didn't have any kale, so I put in shredded cabbage; it worked out great.
