Cabbage soup portuguese style

Heat some oil in a heavy-base pan. Add the onion and the garlic and cook until they begin to soften and turn light golden.

Add the potatoes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, then add the stock. Bring to the boil and cook covered for 15 minutes or until tender. Mash the potatoes.

Add the sliced cabbage and cook for further 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan and cook the chorizo until crispy.

Pour the "caldo verde" (green soup) into individual cups and scatter over the top some chorizo crispy slices.
