Caldo Verde

Procedure

1. Heat oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and garlic. Cook slowly until soft, but do not brown.
2. Add the potatoes and water. Simmer until the potatoes are very tender.
3. Purée the soup or, for a coarser texture, simply mash it in the pot.
4. Cut the sausage into thin slices. Heat it slowly in a sauté pan to cook off some of the fat
