Method

  1. Heat half of the oil in a large pan over a low heat. Cook the onion and celery for 5 minutes or until soft.
  2. Add the paprika and cook for 1 minute
  3. Add the kale, tomatoes and stock.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat the remaining oil. Cook the pork for 5 minutes or until golden and just cooked through.
  5. Stir the pork and parsley into the soup, season with pepper and serve immediately.

You can also make this recipe in a slow cooker. Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the pork. Transfer the pork and the remaining ingredients – excluding the stock and the parsley – into the slow cooker. Crumble over the stock cube and add 200ml of water, then stir and cover. Cook for around 6 hours on low. To thicken, add a tablespoon of cornflour dissolved in a small amount of cold water 30–60 minutes before the end of cooking. Add the parsley before serving.
