This Portuguese Sausage and Kale Soup is the perfect “warming” recipe for cold winter days. Plus, it’s PACKED with veggies and leafy kale greens, perfect for cleansing our systems after all of the rich food we enjoyed during the holidays.

Getting your eating back on track doesn’t have to be boring! This soup is hearty and filling, with liberal chunks of sausage and potatoes.
