Yum! Simple and quick recipe. HIGHLY recommend searching for that Portuguese Linguisa, Chorizo tends to fall apart and doesn't taste as good. If you have a Sams Club or Costco thats where I found it. I find kale to be much better softer, so leave it in for 10-15 minutes. I grew up with it being pretty soft. Also, I added more water to serve more. Overall great recipe, enjoyed it!

I used radish leaves instead of kale, slice canned potatoes instead of fresh and 1 qt organic beef broth with 1 qt organic vegetable broth. I had some left over sweet sausage (organic) and this was icredibly delicious!

I did not have good results with this, though I really was looking forward to trying it, we ate it, but I won't be making it again. :(

I love Caldo Verde. I have found that chorizo is best, but any garlic seasoned smoked pork sausage will do, and if you can't find nice kale, collard greens work well too! It took a few trys to get this recipe just right for me, but it was well worth the effort getting the right combination of kale, chorizo and potatoes.

This recipe is delicious! I prepared all of the ingredients the night before (except for the kale) and put everything in my slow cooker. The next day when I came home from work the following day I turned the slow cooker on high for about 20 minutes and put the fresh kale in. It was nice to come home to a hearty meal all ready to go.

I substituted low fat smoked beef sausage and replaced the water with chicken broth. Everyone loved it.

My husband is from Portugal and we all just love this soup. I add a little more salt and use Portugese sausage.

This was really good soup. It tasted better the next day. I used Italian sausage because it's all I had.

I loved this reciepe!! It was so good and very easy to make, however the only thing I changed was instead of boiling the potatoes in water I used 3 cans of chicken broth, one can of the low sodium low salt and then 2 cups of water, it seemed to give the soup more rich flavor and good color. Very good soup I will continue to make this for years!!

This was just ok. I won't make it again. I took two suggestions: add cheese and add more water. I would also suggest adding more spicy sausage as it was the better part of the soup.

This soup had good flavor, but it was a little too thick than what I'm used to. I added another cup of water to thin it out and added a little more salt because of that. I didn't find it affected the flavor. Next time I would use less potato.

I loved this soup as a child. I tried it this way but I really wasn't very happy with the outcome. Here is some advice. I added 2 splashes of half and half cream and a handful of medium cheddar cheese. After that not only did my kids inhale it they asked me for more the next day!!

Great soup. A nice blend of rich and creamy from the potato base, exciting spicy bites of sausage (we used the spicy kind)and fresh tasting healthy kale in every bite. At first I thought there was no way all that kale would mix in but it did just fine.

Excellent. Used smoked Polish sausage, instead of linguica, which I'll be sure to try next time. Still turned out wonderfully. Thanks.

I thought the soup came out okay, but a little more bland than other kale soups I had before. Perhaps I should've substituted chourico for linguica. Felicia

I substituted chorizo for the linguica and added a can of hominy. The kids, who will rarely eat anything green, loved it!
