About Caldo gallego

Caldo Gallego is a traditional soup originating from the Galicia region in northwest Spain. Known for its hearty and nourishing qualities, it typically features ingredients like white beans, potatoes, turnip greens, and a variety of meats such as chorizo, pork, or bacon. This comforting dish showcases the rustic flavors of Galician cuisine and is often enjoyed as a warming meal during cold months. Rich in fiber from the beans and greens, Caldo Gallego offers nutritional benefits, including support for healthy digestion and essential vitamins like vitamin C and potassium from the vegetables. However, the dish can also be high in sodium and saturated fats depending on the type and amount of cured meats used. Modifying the recipe with leaner cuts of meat and reduced salt can make it a healthier choice while preserving its authentic taste and satisfying nature.
