Portugese Kale Soup

As soon as it gets cold outside in the Fall, I make a big pot of this soup. It is so nourishing and comforting and will warm you up. Just a few simple ingredients, this is a great soup to try.

Ingredients

• 1 bag of split peas

• 1/2 head of cabbage

• 6–8 medium potatoes, chopped

• 1 chopped destemmed bunch of kale

• 1 bag of spinach

• 2 cans (or cooked) of beans (kidney, black, white)

• 2 bay leaves

• 1 tbsp salt

• 1 tbsp of smoked paprika or smoke powder or liquid smoke

• cracked black pepper

• splash of apple cider vinegar

Method

• Soak split peas over night the night prior (to cut down in cooking time)

• Cook split peas in a large stock pot until “melted” or pressure cooker for 20 minutes on high pressure in enough water to cover the peas by 2–3 inches with salt and bay leaves.

• Add potatoes, cabbage and kale to the soup, cook until tender.

• Add spinach and cooked beans, add all additional spices, taste, re-season if needed.
