Caldo Verde
Caldo Verde is a Portuguese soup extravaganza of puréed potatoes with simmered kale, spiked with garlic and made hearty with red beans. In Portugal, caldo verde is typically consumed during Portuguese celebrations, such as weddings, birthdays, and popular celebrations—but I find this to be a hearty soup recipe that can be made and enjoyed year round. Pureed potato with kale and red beans form the heart of this popular Portuguese soup.
Pro tip: Cube the potato before cooking for even speedier results.
INGREDIENTS

- 4 medium potatoes, preferably Yukon Gold

INSTRUCTIONS
