Nancy's Portuguese Bean Soup with Collard Greens

Portuguese bean soup with collard greens is a hearty, flavorful soup that brings together earthy collard greens, tender red kidney beans, chouriço (a smoky Portuguese sausage), and a mix of vegetables, often including cabbage, carrots, and onions. Simmered with chicken bouillon for extra depth, the soup is traditionally enriched with olive oil, which adds a smooth, savory base. Tube pasta or potatoes add a satisfying thickness, creating a rich, wholesome meal. The smoky chouriço, combined with the freshness of collards, makes this soup both comforting and nutritious, perfect for cool weather or a filling, everyday meal.

Ingredients:

• 8 leaves of Collard Greens
• 1/2 of a small cabbage
• 2 cups of red kidney beans boiled (you can use canned red kidney beans)
• 2 carrots
• 1 large onion
• 1 chouriço
• 2 cubes of Knorr chicken
• 1/2 cup of olive oil
• 1 cup of tube pasta (you can use potatoes instead of pasta)
• Salt for seasoning
