Traditional Portuguese Kale and Chorizo Soup | Emeril Lagasse

[@donnazukadley7300]

I have NEVER heard of mint or cilantro in Portuguese kale soup and I was born in the same hospital as Emeril Lagasse

[@reneevegas]

Emeril, I have been watching you on TV for almost 30 years. You have brought a love of cooking I didn’t know existed. BAM!!! You are the best!!!!

[@kimberlychavez1688]

Thank you for sharing Emeril ! We make this soup every year since we saw your recipe in a magazine, it’s our favorite!!

[@catboyzee]

I discovered this soup when Emeril mentioned it on an episode of 'The Best Thing I Ever Ate', and its probably my favorite soup to date. I prefer using collard greens instead of Kale to my version(I'm a Southerner). I also like to add a can of beans: White, Black, or even Pinto depending on what I have in my pantry & what I want the soup to taste like. Good stuff, thanks Emeril.

[@mariaserpa-gauvin8405]

I am Portuguese. My version is different. Have never put onions in mine will try that. We use collard greens in our version. I love watching you! Miss you on the Food Network. Look forward to seeing more Portuguese recipes

[@saradasilva8162]

I grew up eating many different Portuguese soups. This is delicious however you make it

[@robknob8437]

Sunday staple of Cape Cod. Portuguese influence there has every red blooded Cape Codder's parents making kale soup with linguica almost weekly. Wicked good stuff

[@hleigh7201]

Yes! It has to have linguica! New England Potuguese food is the best! I miss it!

[@stephenbianchi7141]

As a Florida native, I love these little pockets of the country where 2-3 cultures come together over generations.

[@paulaazzi2107]

I purée 1/4 of the potatoes before adding sliced chorizo and the Kale. This is my favorite soup!

[@MrAmisto]

I puree all the potatoes, I also add more garlic. I also saute the potatoes with the garlic as well, really gives a good flavor to the potatoes.

[@Cd123z]

My mom was born in Portugal, I grew up eating this soup. Personally, I like a nice velvety soup: heat olive oil and add sliced chorizo so the juices infuse the oil, then take it out with a slotted spoon, leaving the oil, set aside. add a small diced spanish onion&garlic, and saute until translucent. add your chicken broth (i use 2 knorr cubes with water) and potatoes cook until nice and soft add the kale and cook until wilted. take an immersion blender and puree everything until it becomes nice and velvety, add your chorizo and season to taste (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder) and simmer on low get nice crusty bread and enjoy :) Keeping the ingredients to a minimum ensures that its something to be made on a weekly basis in my house at a low cost. after you puree you can also add some nice navy or kidney beans and a handful of arborio rice that splits when its boiled.

[@rustyjames1727]

[@saradasilva8162]

The secret to the most flavorful soup is first brown the Portuguese sausage, it lets out a red like oil that seasons your soup even more.

[@chersilveira8944]

Yes, we my grandma always used Linguica, not the chorizo AND she also added a short rib or an ox tail and shredded it into the soup after it was done. I LIVED on that soup ! When my dad was out to sea, my mom was in over her head with all us kids. SO I would go stay at my grandma's ( Ava's ) house and we would cook & eat stuff from her large garden & this was my favorite.

[@atfourothirtythree]

Emeril made this soup years back on an episode. . And I have made it consistently since...alway hits the spot.. I have also made it with collards. But I prefer not cutting potatoes and kale into little pieces. Also he used Portuguese olive oil and fried his chorizo sausage and potatoes. So I much prefer the traditional way of making this soup.

[@someonenew3547]

You can get this anywhere in Fall River Massachusetts.

[@janecerrone6161]

Our version is no fried onion in olive oil, no mint, no cilantro. Emeril, I grew up in Tiverton but mom was from Fall River and her maiden name was Tavares. She did add a few pork chops for more flavor. Nothing like this soup in the world!

[@gregjohnson720]

Very close to the caldo verde made in Brazil.

[@ryancrownover1578]

I'm making it

[@janecerrone6161]

An easier way is how my mother made this. She cut up the onion, potato and broke the leaves off the kale, chopped the chorico and just puts everything in a big pan with water. You can also add barley or little tiny pasta, salt, pepper and chicken bouillon. That is it. Very easy. She never fried anything first. Tastes just as good.

[@passionflakie4360]

ooooo that is the farthest thing from traditional or portuguese. just call it kale and chorizo soup.

How do you cook kale till it's crisp if you put it in soup? Too much BAM in his pipe.

[@PORTUGAL1010]

I grow my own kale (couves) and we eat fresh made kale soup all season long - cheap, hearty and healthy. There are 1000s of ways to do Portuguese Kale soup (soupa de couve) by adding diff meats (beef, pork even chicken) ingredients (pastas, beans,noodles, rice, etc). I rarely use chicken stock, just sautee the chopped onion, I like it chopped large, garlic, etc after golden/clear add water boil add meat, linguiça, etc abd let it low boil to tender the meat mix the flavors and make your Caldo/Stock flavor. You can start with plain soup and later with last part of it bring to a boil abd add Raman noodles or whatever else you want to convert the soup to a diff taste... Experiment the limit is imagination and ingredients. Portugal - the open arms people. Come meet your cousins and Discover the Land of [Earth]Discoveries.

[@MrAmisto]

Chicken stock tastes better, adds more flavor than water.

[@jorgedacosta8957]

Kevin Pereira Now your loading up on the sodium.

[@MrAmisto]

? Sodium, I think you are thinking of chicken bouillon cubes, real chicken stock is made by hand, you make a mirepoix ( carrot onions celery (or leak) ) sweat them out, then add water, chicken bones, simmer for 4-5 hours, strain it all at the end, the liquid you have left is chicken stock, there is no salt added.

[@jorgedacosta8957]

Kevin Pereira chicken , chicken stock, has sodium, i know i have High Blood Pressure. Have a good day.

[@MrAmisto]

Natural chicken has only minimal amounts of sodium. A plain 3-ounce roasted chicken breast provides just 65 milligrams of sodium - less than 3 percent of the maximum amount of sodium you can have in a day. And stocks only use the bone, you do need some salt in your diet, you need it to survive, the natural amounts in food are not harmful even to people with high blood pressure.

[@nesschap]

First of all, he can't pronounce Caldo VERDE! Fry the chourico along with pork with the bone in with the olive oil, add way more garlic than what he did, use a wet hot pepper sauce(pimenta moida)If you don't mash the potatoes then you should add in beans or something.
