Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Last night, I ate a light hearty savory Portuguese soup called Caldo Verde made with mashed onions, chorizo, and kale. The same soup is often made with collard greens instead of kale. Caldo Verde makes the perfect late night supper, because it's incredibly satisfying without overwhelming your stomach. Moreover, it's soothing.
There are several ways of making Caldo Verde. The one I ate last night had tomatoes and kidney beans, which are not in the traditional recipe. It can also include dried split peas. The soup tastes even more hearty with kielbasa, Polish sausage. This gorgeous green soup is a great way to stay warm and healthy during the winter time.
In Portugal, Caldo Verde is often eaten with slices of broa, a Portuguese type of cornbread. And, instead of using Spanish chorizo, they use Portuguese chouriço. The soup comes from the Minho region in northern Portugal, but it's popular all over the country and eaten during festivities, celebrations, and weddings. Keep reading to find a few different recipes for Caldo Verde.
