A Taste of Portugal – Caldo Verde & Papo Secos (includes complimentary surprise dessert)

This Portuguese-inspired meal begins with a velvety base of slow-simmered organic potatoes and onions, gently cooked until tender and naturally creamy. Rich in vitamin C, potassium, and resistant starch, these root vegetables support immunity, gut health, and lasting energy.

Layered with fragrant garlic and cold-pressed olive oil—both known for their powerful anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits—the soup is deeply grounding, yet light enough to soothe and restore. A touch of smoky sausage offers richness and protein, while keeping the balance rooted in simplicity.

What gives Caldo Verde its soul is the generous addition of finely shredded organic collard greens—a nutrient powerhouse rich in chlorophyll, vitamin K, iron, and antioxidants. Gently wilted into the broth, the greens offer detoxification support, aid in blood clotting, and promote cellular repair.

Slow-cooked, mostly organic, and naturally gluten-free, this soup offers a warming, gut-friendly bowl of nourishment that supports blood sugar stability, heart health, and immune resilience.

On the side, Papo Secos—classic Portuguese rolls made with organic flour, sea salt, and naturally leavened for improved digestibility. With a crisp exterior and soft, airy center, these rolls are perfect for scooping and savoring. Their simplicity highlights quality ingredients and old-world technique—no additives, no shortcuts.

Together, this pairing offers a wholesome embrace of Portuguese tradition: rustic, comforting, and lovingly prepared. A meal to gather around—a reminder that nourishment can be both delicious and deeply healing.
