Caldo verde is a popular Portuguese soup and this recipe reminds me of my time living in Portugal – it is as an indispensable simple starter served in many restaurants.

3 litres water
6tbs extra virgin olive oil
400g potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 cabbage

Season to taste

Instructions

In a large pan, add 1 litre of water and 1 tablespoon of oil to the potatoes and cook for about 30 minutes, until the potatoes soften.
Finally shred the cabbage into very thin strips. Place the shredded cabbage in a second large pan with 2 litres of water, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and garlic. Cook for about 20 minutes.
Once the pototoes are done. Place half of the potato mixture in a blender and whizz until fine.
Top tip – the other half of the potato mixture can remain as it is – this simply adds to the texture of the dish.
