Portuguese Caldo Verde (adapted from The Soupmaker’s Kitchen by Aliza Green)
Caldo verde, which means “hot green broth” is considered by many to be Portugal’s national dish. This kale-based soup originated in the Minho Province in northern Portugal but has become a national favorite found everywhere from fancy hotel dining rooms to humble peasant homes. Caldo Verde is often accompanied by broa, yeast-raised Portuguese cornbread, for sopping up the delicious juices, similar to American Southern soul food where cornbread sops up the juices of cooked collards.
