CALDO VERDE SIPS Yield:12 Source: Cameron Mitchell/On the Burner
Caldo Verde is a classic Portuguese soup made from potato, kale, and spicy chorizo sausage. We shrunk the serving size down to a couple of tasty sips, to be served in an espresso cup as an appetizer on a cold evening.
1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 cup red potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly 1/4 cup onion, small diced 1/4 cup chorizo sausage, small diced 1/2 cup kale, shredded salt freshly ground black pepper 2 cups chicken stock
Heat the olive oil to medium heat, in a medium sauce pan. Add the potatoes, onions, and chorizo and cook, stirring frequently until tender and translucent.
Add the chicken stock and bring up to a simmer until potatoes are soft. Puree soup with a hand blender until relatively smooth.
Add kale and allow to steam in the hot soup until tender.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve in espresso cups with a small spoon on the side to assist.
