  • Copied this recipe from the guardian’s quick summer recipes article. Made it tonight and it was spanking. Will make again.
    Apologies for no photos wolfed if down..

    Caldo verde

    “It’s the simplest soup I do: five ingredients, 40 minutes and brilliant at any time. It’s savoury and warming in winter, nourishing and tangy in summer. Dice and fry an onion, two potatoes and four garlic cloves in olive oil, add a litre of ham stock and simmer for 30 minutes. Fry about 15cm of good cooking chorizo in a dry pan. Tip the chorizo and its oil into the stock, with a big handful of shredded kale and a teaspoon of paprika and smoked paprika. Give it 10 minutes to get itself together, grind black pepper over and enjoy.”
