Caldo Verde Recipe: How to Make Portuguese Kale Soup

Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces.

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

Slice the Portuguese sausage into rounds.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the chopped kale and sauté until wilted, about 5 minutes.

Add the diced potatoes and sauté for another 5 minutes.

Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth.

Return the pot to low heat; add the sliced Portuguese sausage and heat through for another 5 minutes.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve hot, drizzling with a little extra olive oil if desired.
