Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Creamy turnip greens soup

The idea behind caldo verde (Portuguese kale and potato soup), but with turnip greens instead of kale.

Rico's note: A great swap for when you can't find Portuguese kale at the market. It's almost indistinguishable from the original.

Ingredients

  • 300 g (10½ oz) turnip greens (nabiças), finely cut
  • 3 potatoes, cut into pieces (450 g / 16 oz)
  • 1 onion, quartered (150 g / 5½ oz)
  • 3 cloves garlic (9 g)
  • 1½ liters (6¼ cups) water
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (30 g / 1 oz)
  • sea salt, to taste

Method

  1. Cook the potatoes with the onion and garlic in salted water for about 15 minutes.
  2. Blend everything with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
