Caldo Verde
The classic Portuguese kale soup. We cook onion and potato down slowly until the potato breaks up and thickens the broth, then add the kale sliced into very thin ribbons so it cooks in seconds and stays green. A few slices of chouriço go in at the end and release their paprika oil into the soup. Finished with olive oil, and served with a thick slice of broa cornbread.
Nutrition (approx., per bowl with chouriço, excluding broa): 220 kcal · 7 g protein · 24 g carbohydrates (4 g sugars) · 10 g fat (2.5 g saturated) · 4 g fibre · 1.2 g salt. The slice of broa adds roughly 130 kcal.
