About Caldo verde

Caldo Verde is a traditional Portuguese soup cherished for its comforting flavors and wholesome ingredients. Originating in northern Portugal, this dish typically consists of finely sliced dark leafy greens, most commonly kale or collard greens, combined with potatoes, garlic, olive oil, and water or broth. Smoked sausage, such as chouriço, is often added for extra richness, though some variations omit meat for a vegetarian-friendly version. Caldo Verde is nutrient-packed, offering fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants from the greens and potatoes. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, enhancing flavor and texture. However, the addition of sausage can increase saturated fat and sodium levels, so moderation is key for those mindful of their intake. Light yet filling, Caldo Verde has become a staple in Portuguese cuisine and is celebrated for its balance of simplicity and hearty goodness.
