Portugal’s national soup, caldo verde is made by enriching mashed potatoes with finely chopped kale and sausage. With its simple ingredients, it is one of the most beloved and hearty soups of the Portuguese countryside.
Heat some of the olive oil in a pot. Sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat. Add the potatoes and water, then cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
Blend the mixture until smooth.
In a separate pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add the sausage and kale to the soup. Cook over medium heat for 5–8 more minutes, then adjust the salt.
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and serve hot.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months. Stir while reheating.
