PORTUGUESE KALE SOUP

This recipe has many traditional Portuguese variations. My favorite version takes advantage of all the carrots and turnips
which are usually abundant in my garden when kale is ready in the fall.

Ingredients:
3 Tbls olive oil
1 Tbls butter
2-3 lbs short ribs and/or stew beef
1 lbs linguica (Portuguese smoked sausage)*
*kielbasa is a suitable substitute
8 cups water
