Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
6 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pound cabbage, thinly sliced
2 quarts water
8 ounces Portuguese chourico sausage, casing removed, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons salt
pepper to taste
olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 3 minutes. Add sliced potatoes and half of the cabbage, cook until the cabbage wilts, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in water, then bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, then cover, and simmer until the potatoes have softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Carefully puree the soup in batches until smooth, then return to the stove over medium heat. Add sausage and remaining cabbage; season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover, and cook for 5 minutes until the cabbage has softened.
  • To serve, ladle into large flat soup plates and drizzle with generous amount of olive oil.

This caldo verde was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I would not recommend this recipe. The caldo verde was bland and the instructions were unclear.

This caldo verde was a disappointment. The broth was watery and the cabbage was undercooked.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my caldo verde turned out bland. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The caldo verde was good, but I found it to be a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I made this caldo verde for a potluck, and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the creamy texture and the flavorful broth. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This caldo verde was easy to make and so delicious! I used kale instead of collard greens, and it turned out great. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the cabbage and potatoes were cooked perfectly.

This was my first time making caldo verde, and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and the soup was flavorful and hearty. I especially liked the addition of the chorizo, which gave the soup a nice smoky flavor.

I've made this caldo verde recipe a few times now, and it's always a hit. The flavors are so well-balanced, and the cabbage and potatoes are always cooked to perfection. I love serving this soup with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

This caldo verde was absolutely delicious! The cabbage and potatoes were cooked perfectly, and the broth was flavorful and rich. I added a little extra kale for some extra greens, and it turned out perfectly. Definitely a keeper recipe.
