Caldo Verde Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

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

2. 2

   Cook the Potatoes

   Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

3. 3

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, you may need to do this in batches.

4. 4

   Add the Kale

   Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a regular blender). Stir in the chopped kale and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes, until the kale is tender.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If using, add the sliced chorizo to the pot and heat through. Serve hot, garnished with additional olive oil if desired.
