Some make this soup with cabbage instead of Kale or add cabbage and Kale. Also, sometimes mom would make with Shell Pasta instead of potatoes. I've posted the original version I grew up with and hope you like it as much as we do.

How To Make portugese kale soup

  • Step 1
    Use an Extra Large, Tall Pan about 5 gallon size if you have it. 1. Put beef shank in bottom of empty pan.
  • Step 2
    2. Pour water over beef shank to cover and simmer on low to make a broth - about 30 min.
  • Step 3
    3. Add spices and simmer - about 30 min.
  • Step 4
    4. Fill pan 3/4 full with water, add Diced Potatoes and Carrots. Increase heat to slow boil until veg. are almost done.
  • Step 5
    5. Wash fresh kale well, chop and add to boiling pan.
  • Step 6
    6. Cover pan slightly and let slow boil until kale is done. Veggies should be done at this same time too, or continue to cook until Potatoes and Carrots are done.
  • Step 7
    Remove Bone and Chop Beef to bite size pieces. Put beef back into the soup.
  • Step 8
    That's it! Tear off a piece of bread (we do not like to use a knife to break bread) and enjoy.
