Caldo Verde, a classic Portuguese soup, embodies simplicity with its main ingredients of potatoes, kale, and a touch of sausage. This flavorful concoction is the ideal companion for those cold and rainy days.
If you’re wondering about my connection to Portuguese cuisine, my red hair might suggest otherwise. I’m a delightful blend of Scottish, English, and Irish heritage, but that doesn’t deter me from falling in love with Portuguese soups. I’ve had the pleasure of savoring Caldo Verde Portuguese soup a few times in my life, and with each encounter, my appreciation deepens. My first taste of this delightful soup was during a vacation in Portugal, where a local friend introduced me to the exquisite culinary offerings of both northern and southern Portugal.
