Soup Recipe???

A local restraunt serves a wonderful soup they call Portuguese Green Soup but when I search online for a recipe for it, all I find are soups that end up creamy. This soup is a clear soup with greenish color. It has leeks, brussel sprouts and other bits of stuff in it. It has some tiny meat balls and has croutons floating on top. I looked at Greek Wedding Soup recipes but that's not it either. Any other ideas anyone can give me would be appreciated.Soup Recipe???
PORTUGUESE GREEN SOUP











1/4 cup olive oil, -- in all


1 cup chopped onion


2 teaspoons chopped garlic


2 cups Idaho potatoes, peeled and -- thinly sliced


2 quarts water


6 ounces chorizo sausage, -- thinly sliced


Salt and black pepper


1 pound kale, washed, trimmed of the thick stems -- thinly slic


e





In a medium soup pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil, add onions and


garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn glassy, don't let them


get brown. Add potatoes, and water. Cover and boil gently over medium heat


for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet cook sausage until most of the fat


is rendered out. Drain and reserve. When the potatoes are tender mash them


with a potato masher right in the pot. Add sausage to the soup, and then


add the kale. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining olive oil and season.


Ladle into bowls and serve.





this is a recipe my mother in law makes,,, it is greatSoup Recipe???
It may help if you search for a recipe for caldo verde.





I have given a link below for a recipe though if it doesn't suit 100% try searching for the above. I think the restaurant you went to may have adapted it a little.
I'd call the restaurant, praise them and ask for their recipe...
