This recipe is a quick version of a wonderful soup I had in Mystic, Conn., a Portuguese community nestled by the sea in New England. This soup is a winter wonder.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep pot over medium high heat. Add potatoes and onions, cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add garlic, bay leaves, and kale to the pot. Cover pot and wilt greens 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add beans, tomatoes, chourico, and broth to the pot and bring soup to a full boil. Reduce heat back to medium and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.
  3. Serve soup with hunks of crusty bread and butter.
  4. Cook's Note: If you are in Mystic, ask for cherise (phonetic pronunciation), if you want to sample the chourico.
