Caldo Verde

Step by stepInstructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the onion for 4 minutes until soft; add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
2. Add the potatoes and the stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Blend the soup until completely smooth, in batches if needed, and return it to the pot.
4. Add the sausage slices and simmer for 5 minutes to flavor the soup.
5. Stir in the collard greens and cook 3 to 4 minutes, just until they turn bright green and tender.
6. Season with salt and pepper, ladle into bowls, and finish each with a drizzle of olive oil.
