Learn how to make Caldo Verde, an amazingly delicious Portuguese sausage, kale, and potato soup This is comfort food at its finest. dtw777: First attempt was stovetop and I mistakenly forgot to lower the heat so I nearly charred the potatoes. The second attempt I made this recipe, I slightly adapted it to work in my slow cooker, and it turned out beautifully. Easily one of my favorites. The only downside is that the chorizo kinda disintegrated into the soup, but I seasoned the hell out of that broth. That, and I swapped spinach in place of kale. Equally nutritious, but I don't really care for kale that much and I had lots of spinach in my fridge.

Caldo verde is amazing. Love Portuguese cooking. In Galicia (northwestern Spain, right above Port, we have pote, which is similar, but uses salt pork, chorizo and white beans as well as potato and green (the broth is also thinner/potatoes less mashed, as far as I can tell. In Cuba/Miami they serve a version called caldo gallego (because of Galician immigration to the island) which can taste super different depending on the meats/spices used, but still similar concept. Meat, potato (bean) and green.

I made these last week and it was delicious, one of the best soups I ever had. However I used a fresh sausage instead of smoked so I added a bit of smoked paprika, a dash of smoked tumeric spice blend, and a dash of liquid smoke to make up for the lack of smoked sausage. OMG, it was freakin' amazing. I brought leftovers to work and half the room asked me for the recipe just based on the smell alone.

I just made a variation of this I think I should've used a few more potatoes but otherwise it turned out great It's a definite hit with my husband which is always a plus. Normally I don't like kale but this is certainly an exception Yummmmm. Also, I ended up using some chopped garlic in with the onion to pack some more flavor in. And it was a great addition Thanks for sharing this recipe. :3

I also usually prefer this rough chopping of the kale. I only shred it thin when I'm deep frying it. But for caldos in general I prefer it roughly chopped or even hand-torn. This kind of kale is not sold here in Brazil (at least I've never found it, so I'm trying to grow them myself. They're growing at a slow but steady rhythm, so I hope to have a harvest in the not too distant future.

Pro tip: wash before tearing into little pieces. I like to look for bugs or dead spots on the whole leave and then remove the stems and then wash the large leaves under running water. If very dirty, soak in salt water and then rinse under running water and THEN tear into pieces as you put them in the pan. Keeps the grit/bugs/dead leaves out of the pot.

Great version of this soup, but the traditional version actually uses collard greens instead of kale. I also like to skip the potato mashing by adding half of the greens, mixing is with a mixer (which makes the soup look REALLY green) and then I add the rest of the greens with sausage. The result is a less chunky soup but also very flavorful.

This chef has a really funny way of speaking. He speaks in short sentences which go high then stop in bursts with short pauses in between. I make this vegan without the sausage and add carrots and paprika instead. I also blend the potatoes so the mixture is really smooth. I use cabbage instead of kale but kale is good.

I went on a kale buying spree this weekend and with not enough storage space, this was such a great idea Great recipe. Followed it to the letter but added some carrots, a wee bit of paprika and onions in the pot to add more flavour as well as two bay leaves. Mashed with a hand blender. Greetings from cold Belgium
