1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook onion and garlic in 3 tablespoons olive oil for 3 minutes. Stir in potatoes and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes more. Pour in water, bring to a boil, and let boil gently for 20 minutes, until potatoes are mushy.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook sausage until it has released most of its fat, 10 minutes. Drain.
3. Mash potatoes or puree the potato mixture with a blender or food processor. Stir the sausage, salt and pepper into the soup and return to medium heat. Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
4. Just before serving, stir kale into soup and simmer, 5 minutes, until kale is tender and jade green. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and serve at once.

1. Wash the greens by soaking them in a very large bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes. Rinse them thoroughly and cut the stems off. Roll each leaf up (you can stack a few leaves on top of each other) and cut into very thin strips, using a chef’s knife. If you’re using bagged/shredded greens, measure about 2 cups.
2. Peel all of the potatoes and reserve 2 whole ones (you’ll dice those up and add them to the soup later). Cut 4 of the potatoes into quarters and place them aside.
3. In a soup pot (the one I own holds 4 and 1/2 quarts), saute the diced onions until they’re clear and fragrant. Then add the garlic and bay leaf. Saute for about 1 minute more, until the garlic starts to sizzle.
4. Add the quartered potatoes to the same pot that you used to saute the onions, bay leaf and garlic. Fill the pot with enough water to just cover the potatoes (about 2 cups). Bring the pot to a boil and and let the potatoes cook until they are soft (this takes about 20 minutes). Discard the bay leaf and move to the next step. Do not drain the water!

1. In a large pot over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the chouriço and cook until lightly browned on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Using a slotted spoon remove the sausage to a plate. Try to let the sausage drain well into the pot; its fat will flavor the soup.
3. Dump the onions into the pot. Sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more.
4. Stir in the potatoes, add the water or combination of water and chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the soup gently simmers. Cook until the potatoes are almost tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the soup cool slightly.
