Hearty Portuguese Kale Soup Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb smoked sausage - sliced 1/2 thick
1 qt chicken broth
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 medium potatoes, sliced
1 large bunch (abt. 1 lb.) kale - shredded, or - sliced very
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 salt (opt'l.)
Recipe Preparation
Heat oil in a skillet; saute the sausage just until the fat is
rendered, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve.
Bring broth to a boil with the onions and potatoes; simmer 10 to 15
minutes until potatoes are very tender. Mash onions and potatoes in
the broth with a potato masher or slotted spoon. Add drained sausage
slices and the kale. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 3 to 5
minutes, until kale is tender. Taste for seasoning - depending on how
spicy your sausage is, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve piping
hot.
Shepherd writes: "For a cold night, serve with a warm crusty bread
and good beer or red wine for a complete meal."

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
Some low carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Read food labels Don't trust the food label that boasts 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the reverse of the can or packet. Many are only a little lower and in some cases still more than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identically the same.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes parsley, rose hip puree and tomato ketchup)
These colorful healthy superfoods contain alpha-carotene and beta-carotene believed by doctors play a key role in cancer prevention, specifically those cancers involving the stomach and lesophagus. Many are low in calories, so are ideal for including in your diet.
