Directions
In a large pot, saute the garlic, onions and carrot in the oil over moderately low heat, until vegetables are softened.

Bring the lioquid to boil and simmer the mixture, covered, for 10 - 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. While the potatoes are cooking, cook the chorizo in some oil over moderate heat until browned (it will probably completely fall apart, but that is ok). When browned, tranfer to a paper towel to drain.With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a processor, add 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid and puree until smooth., Stir the puree into the broth mixture, add the chorizo, the kale and the red potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer covered for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
