Portuguese caldo verde soup

This Portuguese Caldo Verde recipe simmers potatoes, kale, and smoky sausage in a rich and comforting broth. All made in one pot!

Portuguese Kale Soup is so much more than just greens or kale! Portuguese smoked sausages, such as chouriço or linguiça, are used as the meaty base, with beans added as well as potatoes, making for an incredibly hearty and nourishing soup. If you can’t get your hands on Portuguese sausages, you can easily use a Spanish chorizo, Kielbasa, or another smoked sausage of your choice. You'll love the little bit of tangy apple cider vinegar added at the end!
