Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
1 large sweet onion, chopped
½ cup diced carrots (Optional)
½ cup diced celery (Optional)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste (Optional)
1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
2 bay leaves
5 cups chicken broth
½ pound linguica sausage, diced
½ pound chorizo sausage, diced
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can garbanzo beans, with liquid

Directions

Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat until it sizzles, about 1 minute. Add potatoes, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Add kale and bay leaves to the pot. Cover and let kale wilt for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add chicken broth, linguica, chorizo, tomatoes, and garbanzo beans with their juices to the pot and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until veggies are tender, about 15 minutes more.

Tips

Cook's Notes:

You can use sausage with or without casing.

Feel free to substitute red kidney beans for garbanzo beans.

You can use red bliss potatoes instead of Yukon gold. You can peel the potatoes, if you prefer.
