Caldo verde

Ingredients
1kg floury potatoes
1.45l stock
2 garlic cloves, skinned and chopped
3 small chorizo sausages (260g)
460g cabbage or kale
salt
pepper

Method
Peel the potatoes and cut into small chunks.
Heat the stock in a large pot and add the potatoes and garlic. Bring to the boil and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 15-20 minutes.
Cut the chorizo into 1cm slices and shred the kale into narrow ribbons, removing the tough stalks.
When the potatoes are soft, crush them in the stock with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, to a rough purée.
Add the chorizo slices and the kale to the pot, bring back to the boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Taste, add salt and pepper if necessary, and serve.
