In a large stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onions, turnips and carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Add the kale, chourico, bay leaves, parsley and thyme and mix well. Add the beef stock, beans and tomatoes. Bring the soup to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove the bay leaves and serve hot.

Terrific! I store in single size containers in the freezer. As soon as I'm down to my last serving, I rush to make another batch so we always have this one at hand. We either enjoy it at home or my husband grabs one to take to work (co-workers are so envious when they smell the aroma!

It's a great soup. Even my kids eat their greens with this soup. LIke most others I ditched the turnips added more potatoes. Thought it was a little thick for our tastes and added an extra cup of water.

Yum! I can't find the Chourico in my town, so sometimes I use chicken sausage and chicken stock, but today I decided to try it with chorizo and beef stock. Everyone I've served it to has loved it, and it makes a big pot. This is a recipe I make again and again.
