After a long pause due to unforeseeable reasons, I'm glad to be back and posting! To kick off the fall season of recipes, I'm sharing with you my favorite soup recipe, caldo verde aka kale soup. Surprisingly, my mother introduced me to this soup. We were at a wedding and this soup was on the menu, its remained a fave of mine since then. I always had the privilege of being able to enjoy the soup when I went to weddings or visited friends but I never learned how to make it until I married my husband and his mother taught me. So here is the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do.
Ingredients
4-6 Potatoes - quartered
2 quarts water
1 chorizo sausage - thinly sliced
1 bunch of kale-washed thick stems removed and thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste.
Directions
In a soup pot, add the potatoes and water. Cover and boil gently over medium heat for 20 mins.
In a skillet, cook sausage (approx 2 mins on each side) drain and reserve.
When the potatoes are fork tender, mash them using a potato masher right in the pot. Add t he sausage and kale to the soup. Simmer for 5 mins and season with salt and pepper.
