Preparation

- Stack the leaves, then cut them into thin strips and set aside.
- Rinse the can of beans.
- In a large pot, add the broth, water, chouriço, potatoes, rapini stems that have been reserved, beans and seasonings then simmer until the potatoes are almost tender.
- At this point, remove the rapini stems and discard.
