Caldo Verde is a traditional Portuguese soup made with potatoes, kale, onions, garlic, and Portuguese chouriço (sausage). The soup is typically prepared by simmering the potatoes until tender, then mashing them to create a creamy base. Thinly sliced kale and chouriço are added to the soup and cooked until tender. Caldo Verde is a comforting and nourishing soup that is often enjoyed as a starter or a light meal.
