its bitter if u cook it too long..basically u r blanching it until just soft... as for taste, it really doesnt have a strong taste when u cook it like this

It kinda reminds me of one of my favorite soups you get at Olive Garden, looks great! I love kale, it holds up well in a soup like this. Well done Bam!

Substitute linguica for the Italian sausage, add kidney or Great Northern Beans, and you have Portuguese Kale Soup.

Love the photos, Jeff!
