  • Place beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand at room temperature for 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
  • Pour 4 cups water into a pressure cooker and add beans. Close the lid and cook until beans are soft, about 25 minutes. Use the natural release method to release pressure. Do not drain.
  • Bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil. Cook kale in boiling water until bright green and tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a strainer and cool under cold running water. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Cook linguica sausage in hot oil, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add shallots to the same pot; cook and stir until soft, about 3 minutes. Pour in a splash of chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits of sausage.
  • Return sausage to the pot. Add beans and their cooking liquid. Stir in remaining chicken broth. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Add kale and cook for about 4 minutes more. Season with hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
