Kale soup with potatoes and shiitake mushrooms (vegan caldo verde)
Report
My vegan version of a caldo verde: the comforting and homey Portuguese kale and potato soup. I use shiitake mushrooms instead of sausage. These mushrooms have a firm texture. And infuse the soup with aromatic depth, enhancing the rustic flavours of Portugal.

Ingredients
- 2 cups potato diced (300 grams)
- 1½ cup shiitake mushrooms
- NO NO extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large handfuls kale
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 onion yellow
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp coriander seeds ground
- 2 cups water extra if needed
- ½ teaspoons ground cumin seed
- 2 tbsp mushroom powder
- ½ teaspoons chili flakes
- 2 bay leaf
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Dice the onion and fry in a bit of olive oil until translucent.
- In the meantime cut he shiitake: a bit larger than bite size pieces because they will shrink when cooked. Some shiitake are so small you don't need to cut them at all.
- Press the garlic and add.
- Fry the mushrooms in the frying pan in oil. Or with just a bit of water if you cook oilfree.
- Wash and dice the potatoes. You can leave the skin on if it looks nice. Otherwise peel the potatoes. Add.
- When they have browned a bit: press the garlic and add.
- Keep stirring while the potatoes brown a bit.
- Add the spices.
- Skip all of the above steps if you cook without oil. Just bake the onions and garlic in a bit of water. And add the potatoes.
- Cook until they have shrunk and have a nice brown colour.
- Poor the water over the potatoes and add the mushroom powder and bay leaves.
- Add the mushrooms to the soup when it's ready to serve.
- Let simmer for 15 minutes with the lid on.
- Remove the bay leaves and puree the potatoes. But not completely: leave some small chunks.
- Wash and cut the kale. Add and cook for another 5 minutes
