Portuguese caldo verde

A Portuguese soup of puréed potatoes and very finely sliced greens, finished with smoked chorizo.

Caldo verde is associated with northern Portugal and is also prepared in other parts of the country. Couve galega is characteristic, though the recipes consulted allow collard greens or kale as alternatives. This version keeps the potato, greens, and chorizo base.
