Caldo Verde is a traditional, hearty Portuguese soup. It is made from a base of pureed potatoes, onions, and garlic, with thinly shredded kale or collard greens added at the end, giving it a distinctive green color and velvety texture. Sliced linguica/chourico — a smoked Portuguese sausage seasoned with paprika and garlic — is also added, lending the soup its characteristic savory, smoky depth.
