New Caldo Verde – My Greenish Soup Redux

Caldo verde is many things: uncomplicated to make, inexpensive, nutritious, famously delicious, too beyond comforting. What it isn’t, however, is Spanish. I learned that later on posting a version of this soup 10 years ago, when I tagged it every bit “Spanish Cuisine,” too a few real “passionate” Portuguese viewers permit me know, inwards no uncertain terms, that was non accurate.

This soup hails from the Minho Province inwards northern Portugal, too straight off that the tape has been laid upward straight, nosotros tin give the axe motility on to merely how cracking this uncomplicated soup is. This is 1 of those recipes where you lot genuinely promise for horrible weather, too thus you lot tin give the axe taste it inwards all its soul-warming glory. This is too thus hearty too comforting, you’ll around forget how practiced it is for you.

I recommend trying to abide by Portuguese linguica, but similar I said inwards the video, pretty much whatever cured, spicy, smoked sausage volition work. Andouille would hold upward a cracking choice, every bit would a dried chorizo. As usual, experience gratis to conform this every bit you lot run into fit, but I wouldn’t alter the recommended russet potatoes.

They convey the perfect starchiness for this soup, too arrive at a wonderfully silky texture. Waxier ruby-red potatoes won't travel every bit well, but, having said that, it’s your soup, too thus do what you lot want. Just don’t telephone phone it Spanish. So, whether you lot await for about nasty cold, moisture conditions or not, I genuinely do promise you lot give this caldo verde a own soon. Enjoy!
