A delicious, healthy soup based on Food Network’s recipe by Rachel Ray for Chourico and Kale Soup. It does not take long to make and the technique is the same.
I substituted spinach for the kale and kielbasa for the chourico. Kielbasa in soups is usually pared with cabbage. This was a nice change to have kielbasa with spinach and beans instead of cabbage.
It is a very tasty soup!
If you like chourico and kale, use that instead! By all means! I would love it with chourico, but kale is not a favorite of mine. So I used spinach for the kale.
I got 8 servings (1 heaping cup each) instead of 4 like their recipe said! It is a hearty soup!
