Emeril's New-Style Caldo Verde image

Emeril calls this version "new-style" because the kale is cut into thin strips and is cooked only until crisp-tender, which differs from the traditional version. Serve with crusty bread alongside.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped yellow onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
7 cups chicken stock or canned, low-sodium chicken broth
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
8 ounces kale, large stems and ribs removed
8 ounces firm (smoked) chorizo or other hot smoked sausage, diced or crumbled
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large soup pot, and add the onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are wilted, 4 minutes. Add the potatoes and chicken stock, cover, and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper, and add the crushed red pepper. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, 20 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, thinly slice the kale. Set aside.
  • When the soup is thick and the potatoes have begun to break down, add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the kale and simmer until the leaves have softened but are still slightly crunchy and the flavors have melded, 15 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, parsley, and mint, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my soup, but it turned out terrible. The flavors were all off and the kale was way too tough. I'm really disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this recipe.

This soup is the worst soup I have ever tasted. The flavors are disgusting and the kale is so tough that I could barely chew it. I would not recommend this recipe to my worst enemy.

This soup is a waste of time and money. The flavors are terrible and the kale is inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This soup is just okay. I found the flavor to be a bit bland and the kale was a bit tough. I probably won't make this soup again.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually add a little extra kale and sausage, and I also like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream.
