Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
6 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 pound cabbage, thinly sliced
2 quarts water
8 ounces Portuguese chourico sausage, casing removed, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons salt
pepper to taste
olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 3 minutes. Add sliced potatoes and half of the cabbage, cook until the cabbage wilts, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in water, then bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, then cover, and simmer until the potatoes have softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Carefully puree the soup in batches until smooth, then return to the stove over medium heat. Add sausage and remaining cabbage; season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover, and cook for 5 minutes until the cabbage has softened.
  • To serve, ladle into large flat soup plates and drizzle with generous amount of olive oil.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my caldo verde turned out watery and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This caldo verde was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.
