Caldo Verde/ Potato Soup with Kale/ Spinach and vegetarian chorizo

Caldo Verde is a simple potato based soup which may come across as bland for the vegetarian version but so hearty. 

While eating it we added some vinegar and butter. Most of the soup was mopped using the corn bread which tasted yummy.

3 large starchy potatoes peeled and finely chopped

1 medium red onion finely chopped

1 bunch of kale or spinach finely chopped ( I used baby spinach)

3 to 4 garlic cloves

2 tspn oil

salt and pepper to taste

vegetarian chorizo finely sliced

Broa or other crusty bread

3) Add 4 cups of water and let it come to a boil
