whats in portuguese kale soup??? corn chowder, mmm my fav!!!

i use  soup bone and  a little   stew beef and onions  cook till tender  makes a great base
add while that cooking a little  garlic  hot pepper.

Then i add  a can of kidney beans (or cannelli)  or any kind that you want.   potatoes cubed and kale pulled off stock.  I package  choucio ( portuguese sausage  can subsistue linguice)

at end i also add  a quarter cup macaroi but that is optional.    then i   take a cup out and blend it to help thicken soup a little.

thats it.  My girlfriends mom was portuguese and made that soap.  I was a  young nieve adult and called it polish  stew.   wow that was wrong  they laughed about that for years.  but is is sure good.
