"This is a very rustic and simple soup to make. Really delicious, with tons of flavor. I like to make my own croutons; but, you could always use a good store brand crouton (one from the bakery). This is a perfect soup for lunch or a light dinner."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Croutons ... Bring the olive oil up to medium high to high heat. Add the croutons, toss until well combined; and, saute until golden brown - about 5 minutes. Add the oregano; and, season with salt and pepper; and mix until everything is well coated. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Let them cool completely before adding to the soup. Again, you can always use a store bought bakery style crouton too if you want. These croutons can be made ahead; and stored in a ziploc bag or container.
Step 2
Soup ... Add the oil to a soup pot and bring to medium high heat. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes; and cook 1-2 minutes; stirring often. Reduce to medium heat, and add the chorizo, potatoes, a bit of salt and pepper (go easy - the chorizo is spicy); and, mix until everything is combined.
Step 3
Add the broth, paprika; and bring to a light boil. Reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes; then, add the kale, and re-season again with additional salt and pepper - only if necessary. Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes - or, until the kale and potatoes are tender.
Step 4
Serve and ENJOY! ... Ladle in your favorite bowl; and, top with plenty of croutons. A very simple rustic soup.
