\"Caldo<\/p>\n

There’s nothing quite like a good soup. In the summer it’s a great quick food, in the winter the comfort quality cannot be written down.<\/p>\n

Portuguese Caldo Verde Soup is a lovely simple soup which should go down well on anyone’s table. To start with you will need:<\/p>\n

Olive oil<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 finely chopped onion<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 clove of minced garlic<\/strong><\/p>\n

6 peeled and thinly sliced potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

250g of Lingui\u00e7a sausage nicely sliced<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 teaspoons salt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some ground black pepper.<\/strong><\/p>\n

500g of Curly Kale<\/strong><\/p>\n

To make your soup:<\/p>\n

Saute the onion and garlic in some olive oil until nice and soft.<\/p>\n

Add the potatoes and together for about 3-4 minutes more.<\/p>\n

Pour in water, bring to a boil, and let boil gently for 20 minutes, until potatoes are breaking down into the water. Try to avoid very waxy varieties.<\/p>\n

In a frying pan cook the sliced sausage. You do not need any extra oil as there is enough fat in the sausage.<\/p>\n

Drain and mash the potatoes.<\/p>\n

Add the sausage, salt and pepper into the soup and return to medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes or so.<\/p>\n

Add the curly Kale near the end of the cooking process until it is tender.<\/p>\n

Pop in a bit more olive oil and take to the table for eager eating with some tasty bread.<\/p>\n
