Caldo Verde (Portuguese Kale Soup)

Caldo Verde is a very popular soup in Portugal. You will find it on nearly every menu there. Caldo Verde literally translated means green soup. Historically the soup is made with collard greens but ever since kale has become a craze, many recipes for Caldo Verde now are made with kale. This is one of those recipes. Honestly this my husbands absolute favorite soup and he requests it all the time. It can be served as a course as it was for our Portuguese International Cuisine meal or as a meal by itself. It is hearty, comforting and absolutely scrumptious!
