Fall soup

I went out to my garden last night and picked a handful of kale: It is an heirloom Italian kale- I think it is so beautiful!

I made a soup that my nanna used to make ,although she never wrote down any recipes it was always in her head ,so I can only try to make dishes similar to hers:

This one is linguisa and kale soup, this is my recipe ( I don't write anything down either so this is very close):

I cut up one package of linguisa into small chunks and fry that with 1 onion and 5 cloves of garlic in a big pot until the linguisa is browned.  I then add 2 cans of diced tomatoes and then fill the pot 3/4 full with water- then I put about 4 or 5 cubes of beef boulion in it.  I let that cook uncovered for 10 min and then add 4 peeled and diced potatoes.  15 minutes before I serve I put the kale in the soup and season with salt and pepper.   The kale only needs a few minutes to cook.

I also made my 1hr french bread to go along with it.  I think my family liked it for there was nothing left- I love when I can make something and no one complains!
