Keto Portuguese Soup

Ingredients

• 80 ml olive oil, divided
• 3/4 cup (120 g) chopped onion
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 cups (300 g) diced turnip
• 2 cups (300 g) diced cauliflower
• 1 pound (455 g) kale
• 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) smoked sausage
• 1 can (14 1/2 ounces, or 410 g) diced tomatoes
• 2 quarts (1.9 L) chicken broth, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• salt and pepper

Method

1. Put 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the olive oil in a large soup pot and saute the onion, garlic, turnip, and cauliflower over medium heat
2. While that’s cooking, chop the kale into bite-sized pieces and add it to the pot as well
3. You may need to cram it in at first, but don’t worry-it cooks down quite a bit
4. Let the vegetables saute for another 10 minutes or so, stirring to turn the whole thing over every once in a while
5. Slice the smoked sausage lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into 1/2-inch 1 3-cm pieces
6. Heat the remaining oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat and brown the smoked sausage a little
7. Add the browned sausage, tomatoes, and 7 1/2 cups 1
8. L of the chicken broth to the pot
9. Use the last 1/2 cup (120 ml) of broth to rinse the tasty browned bits out of the frying pan and add that too
10. Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are soft (30 to 45 minutes)
11. Stir in the hot pepper sauce, add salt and pepper to taste, and serve
