Caldo Verde

1. 1

   In a large pot, combine the potatoes, salt, and water; bring to a boil; adjust the heat, and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are mashable, about 15 minutes.

2. 2

   With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a bowl; leave the cooking water in the pot.

3. 3

   With a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes coarsely or into a puree, as your taste dictates, then return them to the pot (alternatively, if you have an immersion blender, puree the potatoes in the pot, or simply break up the potatoes with a wooden spoon).

4. 4

   Stir in the olive oil and pepper.

5. 5

   Bring the soup back to a simmer over medium heat.

6. 6

   Prick the sausages in a few places, add them to the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes.

   With tongs, remove the sausages and slice them about 1/4 inch thick; reserve.

8. 8

   Add in the kale or cabbage to simmering soup; boil, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes.

9. 9

   Remove from heat and add the sliced sausage; serve piping hot in flat bowls.
