Instructions

  • Prepare all ingredients as listed above.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add chorizo slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly crisped and the oil is tinted red.
  • In the same pot, add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Add diced potatoes, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Stir in kale and return cooked chorizo to the pot. Simmer uncovered for 5–7 minutes until kale is tender but still vibrant. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Optional: using an immersion blender or blender, blend the soup until the potato is smooth.
  • Warm the crusty bread.
  • Stir together milk, cinnamon, and honey until fully combined.
  • Serve the caldo verde with crusty bread and cinnamon-honey milk.
