Caldo Gallego (Galecian Broth)

Warm, hearty caldo gallego is one of my family’s favorite meals during the long winter months in Alaska. We like to serve it with chewy Cuban bread.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Spanish chorizo links, sliced
  • 2 thick slices smoked ham, diced, or more to taste
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium turnips, peeled and diced
  • 8 cups chicken stock
  • 1 (15 ounce) can white cannellini beans
  • 3 cups chopped turnip greens

Directions

Step 1
Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and saut? until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 2
Stir in chorizo and ham; cook and stir until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes and turnips, then pour in stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes and turnips are tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 3
Increase the heat to medium and stir in beans and greens; cook until greens are tender, at least 3 minutes.

Tips

You can use smoked sausage (such as Polish kielbasa) instead of chorizo; kale, chard, or any dark leafy green (besides spinach) instead of turnip greens; and a ham hock instead of smoked ham.
