Steps
- 1
Heat olive oil in a deep saucepan or casserole and sauté chorizo in a frying pan until fat start to run.
- 2
Leave the chorizo’s oil and sauté onion, garlic and celery for about 5 minutes. Stir in potato, then add bacon bones, water and bay leaf. Simmer until potato is very tender, about 25 minutes.
- 3
Separate kale leaves from stems, then roll up leaves and cut into fine shreds. Discard stems.
- 4
Remove bacon bones and bay leaves from the broth. With the back of a spoon or a potato masher, roughly break up potato if it has not collapsed already.
- 5
Add kale, adjust seasoning and simmer for 15 minutes or until greens are tender enough for your liking. Check for seasoning.
- 6
Ladle into bowls and top with spicy chorizo and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
