Soup Recipe???

Question

A local restraunt serves a wonderful soup they call Portuguese Green Soup but when I search online for a recipe for it, all I find are soups that end up creamy. This soup is a clear soup with greenish color. It has leeks, brussel sprouts and other bits of stuff in it. It has some tiny meat balls and has croutons floating on top. I looked at Greek Wedding Soup recipes but that's not it either. Any other ideas anyone can give me would be appreciated.

Answer 1

PORTUGUESE GREEN SOUP



1/4 cup olive oil, -- in all
1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 cups Idaho potatoes, peeled and -- thinly sliced
2 quarts water
6 ounces chorizo sausage, -- thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper
1 pound kale, washed, trimmed of the thick stems -- thinly slic
e

In a medium soup pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil, add onions and
garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn glassy, don't let them
get brown. Add potatoes, and water. Cover and boil gently over medium heat
for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet cook sausage until most of the fat
is rendered out. Drain and reserve. When the potatoes are tender mash them
with a potato masher right in the pot. Add sausage to the soup, and then
add the kale. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining olive oil and season.
Ladle into bowls and serve.

Answer 2

It may help if you search for a recipe for caldo verde.

I have given a link below for a recipe though if it doesn't suit 100% try searching for the above. I think the restaurant you went to may have adapted it a little.

Answer 3

I'd call the restaurant, praise them and ask for their recipe...
