Peel potatoes and cut them into quarters (you will be mashing them so don't worry to much about the shape). Add them to your stock and cook until they are falling apart, at this stage mash them and your 'soup' will thicken. You will now see if you want to add more liquid, if so add more. Add your chorizo, allow this to come to a simmer and let all the paprika come out of the sausage (about 5 min). Then add your kale which has been sliced into thin ribbons (looks like linguine), let this simmer for 5 min. Now all you have to do is season with salt, pepper and olive oil (use a good olive oil) to taste.

Introduction
My Portuguese grandmother taught me this, it is the ultimate in comfort food! I think each family has their own way of doing it and this is my family's way.
