MIXED LEAFY GREEN SOUP "CALDO VERDE" WITH CHICKPEAS



Mixed Leafy Green Soup

Caldo verde means "green broth" in Portuguese, and it is Portugal's unofficial national dish. This beautiful green soup is technically a hot smoothie, since its many nutritious greens are pureed together in a blender. Chickpeas are an important ingredient here, too. Fiber- and protein-rich, they've been shown in studies to help people lose weight. For added protein, top with 4 ounces of shredded chicken or add 2 dozen clams to the broth.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 cup small-diced onions
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 cups mixed leafy greens (kale, collards, and mustard)
1 cup no-salt-added chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 quart unsalted chicken stock (such as Kitchen Basics)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour the olive oil into a large pot, and place over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the onions and paprika; lower the heat to medium; and cook, covered, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Put the greens into a blender and blend until pureed (you may use a little water to help, or use the wand tool that comes with some blenders to force the greens to blend without water). Pour this mixture into the pot, increase the heat to high, and cook until the water has evaporated from the greens.
  • Pour two-thirds of the chickpeas into the blender with 1 cup of the stock and blend until smooth. Add the pureed chickpeas to the pot with the remaining chicken stock and chickpeas and bring to a simmer. Cook covered until the greens are tender and the soup has thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into four bowls and serve.

EASY SUPER-GREENS SOUP



Easy Super-Greens Soup image

Reset your diet with this soothing soup chock-full of superfoods. You can put this recipe together using the veggies in the bottom of your crisper drawer-pull out those carrots and that neglected bunch of celery-add in onion, and for protein, a can of hearty white beans. Then, the star of the show: a powerful punch of hearty, nutritious greens like kale, chard or spinach. All are easy to find, already washed and ready to go, in your grocer's produce section. These simple ingredients cook up into a soup that's much more than the sum of its parts and is still low-cal enough that you can round it out with crusty bread and cheese on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right greens: The best greens for this soup are those that will hold up well to cooking, such as kale, collard greens, and spinach. Avoid delicate greens like arugula, which will wilt too quickly.
  • Don't overcook the greens: The greens should be cooked just until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Overcooking will make them tough and bitter.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
  • Add some protein: If you want to make a more filling soup, you can add some cooked chicken, beef, or tofu.
  • Season to taste: The soup should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This vegetable soup with mixed greens is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try!
