Traditional Portuguese kale soup without the olive oil.

This came about in a long search for my Grandmother's caldo verde or something like it since her recipes are lost to me. In my research I learned that this soup originated in the Minho province of Portugal and used a cabbage/green similar to collard greens, however in Sao Miguel (where my family is from) and the other islands of the Azores they used kale as well as kidney beans which I have omitted. I don't like beans but feel free to add them if you like them.
