Caldo Verde Recipe

Instructions for Caldo Verde

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2. 2

   Cook the Potatoes

   Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir well. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Blend the Soup

   Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the other half as is.

4. 4

   Add the Kale and Sausage

   Stir in the chopped kale and sliced Portuguese sausage. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the kale is tender.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, and enjoy your Caldo Verde!
