Found this on a blog called Two Azores Chicks. It sounds very similar to a soup from Olive Garden that I love!

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
- 8 cups water or combo of water and chicken stock
- 1/2 pound kale, stems removed and julienned
- 1/2 pound chouriço or chorizo
- - good salt and freshly ground pepper
How To Make caldo verde
-
Step 1Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chouriço and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon remove the chouriço to a plate.
-
Step 2Add the onions into the pot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until they’re translucent and soft. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes more.
-
Step 3Add the 8 cups of liquid and the potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are almost done, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Step 4When potatoes are almost done lower heat and add the chouriço. Then partially puree with an immersion blender. Do not puree completely. Leave soup a little chunky for a more rustic comfort feel.
-
Step 5Add the shredded kale and bring everything back to a boil and cook down greens for 15-20 minutes. Season with more salt, if needed, and pepper.
