Directions
Heat a small, nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add chorizo and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Drain the chorizo on paper towels and set aside.
In a heavy stockpot, heat oil over medium heat.
Add onions and sauté until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
Add chicken stock, potatoes and garlic and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes and garlic to a bowl; lightly mash with a fork.
Return to the soup and bring to a simmer.
Stir in kale, a handful at a time.
Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the kale is tender.
Stir in the reserved chorizo and season with salt and pepper.
