Caldo Verde
Caldo Verde is a traditional Portuguese soup made with potatoes, collard greens, chorizo sausage, and sometimes other ingredients like onion and garlic.
Ingredients
Method
- In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant.

- Serve the Caldo Verde hot, drizzled with a bit of olive oil and enjoy!
